Logan Bread
A hearty, nutrient-dense bread combining whole wheat, white flour, oats, nuts, and dried fruits, ideal for winter camping or satisfying meals with rich, sweet flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the whole wheat flour, white flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, honey, molasses, and powdered milk in a large bowl.
- Add eggs and the rest of the ingredients, stirring well to combine.
- Pour the batter into four greased 9 x 9-inch cake pans.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes or until done.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider using half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour. You can substitute maple syrup for honey if desired, and add a variety of nuts or seeds for extra crunch. Ensure that your eggs are at room temperature to help with better mixing. Mixing in some dried fruits like cranberries or apricots can also enhance the flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
Logan Bread is hearty enough to be enjoyed on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a spread of cream cheese or your favorite nut butter. It can also be served alongside a cup of tea or coffee for a satisfying breakfast or snack. Try it with a fruit salad for a refreshing contrast or enjoy it as a base for a sweet breakfast parfait.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Logan Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag for up to three months. To reheat, simply toast slices in a toaster or warm in the oven until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use gluten-free flour instead of whole wheat and white flour?
Yes, you can substitute gluten-free flour blends for both the whole wheat and white flour. Make sure to use a blend that contains xanthan gum or add it separately to ensure proper texture and rise.
How can I adjust the sweetness of the Logan Bread?
You can reduce the amount of brown sugar or honey to suit your taste. Alternatively, you can add more dried fruits like raisins or dates, which will naturally sweeten the bread without adding refined sugars.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! To make Logan Bread vegan, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg). You can also use plant-based margarine and substitute honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
