The recipe is extremely easy to mix up. You mix the dry ingredients in one large bowl, mix up the wet ingredients in a smaller bowl (I used a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup) and then you mix and bake. I love recipes that use one bowl! It makes for such an easy clean-up which does not come easy when it comes to baking.
The mixture gets pretty tough to mix, but it's supposed to be a thick-oatmeal like consistency when you pour it in the pan. I loved this bread recipe (even though my oven decided to heat to 450 while baking it, thus causing it to burn a bit). I've had it for breakfast with some jam and apple butter from a recent Farmer's Market purchase. I will definitely be making it again.
