Source: Cooking Light Annual Recipes 2004 - Cooking Light Magazine
Graham cracker crumbs take the place of whole wheat flour. Molasses is the only sweetener and is in part responsible for the unique flavor. The texture is moist and the bread is not too sweet. Store the loaf for a few days at room temperature in a zip-top plastic bag, or wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Serve as is, toasted, or with a drizzle of honey.
