   1      jar           baby food prunes -- (4 1/2 oz)
     3/4  cup           granulated sweetener -- (sugar, sucanat)
     1/4  cup           brown sugar
     1/2  cup           nonfat sour cream -- or skim milk (less
                        if using liquid whites)
   4      tablespoons   dried egg whites -- (=8 liquid egg
                        whites)
   2      teaspoons     vanilla
   3      cups          bran -- (not cereal)
   2      cups          whole wheat flour
   1 1/2  cups          quick-cooking oats
     1/2  cup           vital wheat gluten
   3      tablespoons   baking powder
   2      teaspoons     baking soda
   1      teaspoon      salt
   2      teaspoons     ground nutmeg
   2      teaspoons     ground cinnamon
   1      teaspoon      ground cardamom

Preparation:

(makes 3 loaves) My SAD husband said to tell my virtual friends that it was "very, very good". [Stephanie] 1. Preheat oven to 325F. 2. Line the bottoms and a bit up the sides of 3 loaf tins (8x41/2?) with waxed paper. Or use non-stick tins. (Either works) 3. In one bowl, combine the ingredients from bananas to vanilla. 4. In another bowl, combine the remaining (dry) ingredients. 5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry - do not overmix! The batter will be fairly thick and lumpy. (If it's too runny, it takes too long to cook and loses texture.) 6. Split the batter between the loaf tins. 7. Bake for approximately 40 minutes. Probably should start checking at 30 minutes. A toothpick should come out clean when stuck into the loaf. For muffins (makes 24 large): Add 1 cup raisins (optional) and bake for 26 minutes in a 325F ove
