Iron Cake

(dedicated to Barb)

I had a problem with anemia for a while, and devised this recipe full of iron- and protein-rich sources. One slice has about 1/4 the daily requirement of iron and 12% for protein. I know neither the name nor the ingredients made it sound delicious, but it is.

1/2 c prune juice
1/2 c sugar
2 T blackstrap molasses
1 1/2 c muffin mix
1/2 c quinoa flour
1 c oats
1/2 lb tofu (crumbled)
1 T cinnamon
1 c raisins
1 c sunflower seeds

Put in breadmaker on cake setting and turn on. Or pour into muffin tins bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees or spread in a cake pan and bake 25 min at 400.

Zucchini Pear Bread

Fluffy Bread
