Description

Ever tried Whole Wheat Rusks with a crunchy edge and a soft bite inside? This version is packed with oats, seeds, and just the right amount of sweetness. They’re baked once, dried slowly, and perfect for dunking or just snacking straight off the tray.


Ingredients

Units Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 500 g melted butter
  • 500 ml buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups soft brown sugar

Dry Ingredients

Add-ins


Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs and buttermilk together.
  2. Stir in the sugar and melted butter until smooth.
  3. In a big bowl, mix all the dry ingredients.
  4. Add the crushed All-Bran flakes, seeds, and dried fruit.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir until everything is combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into two greased glass baking dishes. Smooth the tops.
  7. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40 minutes.
  8. Let it cool a little, then cut into thick slices.
  9. Let them cool completely, then cover with plastic wrap and freeze overnight. (This helps stop them from falling apart.)
  10. The next day, break them apart so they don’t touch.
  11. Place in the oven at 170°F (75°C) and dry out until crisp (4–5 hours, depending on your oven).
  12. Remember to place a spoon in the door to keep it slightly open 

Tip:

 

The crunchy crumbs are delicious on yogurt, like homemade granola. Go on, try it, you’ll want to make a second batch!
