Oatmeal-Raisin Batter Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
1 cup hot milk (must be hot enough to soften the oats)
2 large eggs, beaten
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup dark raisin
2 - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, as needed
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0; butter a deep 1 1/2 quart casserole and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats and milk, stir, and let stand until oats are softened, about 10 minutes.
Add in eggs, butter, brown sugar, and raisins; stir until well blended.
Sift 2 cups of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon directly into the oat mixture; stir until well blended and smooth, adding more flour as necessary for a firm consistency.
Scrape batter into the prepared casserole; bake until a straw inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
Let the bread cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely; to serve cut into slices.
