Notes
- You could start this bread the night before by mixing to gather the bran cereal, apricots, sugar and milk and letting it sit in the fridge overnight, then just add the flour and baking soda in the morning before putting them in the oven to bake.
- Instead on making mini apricot bran breads, you could make one large bran bread, by baking in a large bread pan until a skewer comes out clean, roughly 50-60 minutes.
