1 cup Raisins
1 cup Water
2 tablespoons Butter
1 cup All purpose flour
1/4 cup Sugar
3 teaspoons Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Oats rolled, not instant
2 large Eggs

1. Preheat the oven to 375. Spray a bread loaf pan with nonstick spray.
2. Lightly beat the eggs and set aside 1 tablespoon of the oats.
3. Combine the raisins and water in a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until the raisins are plump. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter until melted. Set mixture aside to cool.
4. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the oats (except the reserved tablespoon) and stir together.
5. Whisk the eggs into the cooled raisin mixture. Stir the raisin mixture into the dry ingredients and stir about 10 times or until moistened.
6. Pour into the loaf pan and sprinkle with the reserved tablespoon of oats. Bake for 45 – 55 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing.
