Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove one end from each of four 1-pound cans, rinse, dry, and grease well.
- In a large bowl, combine graham flour, all-purpose flour, soda, and salt.
- Stir in yogurt, molasses, raisins, and walnuts; mix well.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared cans.
- Bake in a 350°F oven for about 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in cans for 10 minutes; then turn out and stand loaves upright on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Cut loaves crosswise into thick or thin slices as desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, you can substitute half of the graham flour with whole wheat flour. If you don't have molasses, honey or maple syrup can work in a pinch, though it will slightly alter the flavor. Make sure to thoroughly grease the cans to prevent sticking, and consider adding spices like cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth. This bread can also be made into muffins for a quicker bake.
Serving Suggestions
Graham Yogurt Bread makes a delightful breakfast or snack option. Serve it warm with cream cheese or your favorite spread. It pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or yogurt for a balanced meal. Consider using it as a base for a breakfast sandwich or serving it alongside a warm bowl of oatmeal. For something sweet, it complements desserts like Easy-Go Apple Pie perfectly.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Graham Yogurt Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, slice and toast in a toaster or oven until warm, which enhances its flavor and texture. Enjoy it fresh or toasted with butter or jam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use flavored yogurt instead of unflavored yogurt?
While unflavored yogurt is recommended for this recipe, using flavored yogurt can add a unique twist. Just keep in mind that it will change the overall sweetness and flavor profile of the bread. Vanilla or honey yogurt could be especially tasty!
How do I know when the bread is done baking?
The bread is done when a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the tops are golden brown. If the pick comes out sticky, it needs more time. Keep an eye on it, as baking times can vary slightly based on your oven.
Can I add other mix-ins to the bread?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize your Graham Yogurt Bread with other mix-ins such as dried cranberries, chopped apples, or even chocolate chips. Just be mindful of moisture content, as adding too many wet ingredients can affect the batter's consistency.
