Ingredients

• 2 cups pumpernickel flour
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 2 Tbsp brown sugar
• 1 1/4 cups milk
• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with a small amount of oil or cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpernickel flour, chopped pecans, raisins, salt, baking powder, and brown sugar. Stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the milk and vegetable oil. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid a dense loaf.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the pan in the preheated oven.
5. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean, indicating it is done.
6. Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
