Raisin Bran Lemon Bread

There is a trend here in the CafeTerraBlog kitchen, this recipe took me two tries….BUT I ended with some delicious bread!  Remember last week,  it took me two tries to get lemon curd right.  Now I am huge lover of lemon curd, what a gorgeous treat!

Give me a bran muffin of any kind and I am a happy girl!  The other day I found a mango berry bran muffin at Trader Joe’s, what a great flavor combo.  The muffin was perfect with lemon curd slathered on top…..which got me thinking, lemon curd and bran…..

The first try, well I got a little excited about the blackberries I picked up at the store.  I should’ve put only 1/2 of the package in the batter.  So the blackberries went to the bottom, and the bread did not come out nicely.  I had to share the mistake with you, though,  because it tasted fantastic!

For the second try I used raisins instead,  keeping more true to the original recipe.  The recipe I adapted is from the recipe on the Hodgson Mill package.

My second variation I did with the bread – ½ cup fresh or frozen blackberries instead of raisins. 1 tsp cardamom instead of cinnamon, and 1 tsp almond extract instead of vanilla extract.

I plan on making the first round again, I actually like the almond extract with the lemon curd in the bread.   If you do not have the lemon curd, you could use Greek yogurt instead.

I brought a recipe from the vault, and shared a guest blog over at Asian In America.  I would love for you to stop by, and say hi to Betty Ann!
