To Make Bread: Preheat oven to 375. Coat the inside of the can with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, combine contents of bag with 6 Tblsp of canola oil, ½ cup of molasses just to combine. Add 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 tsp of vanilla extract and 1 large lightly beaten egg and mix just to combine. Spoon bread into the prepared can. There should be about 1-½ “ of clearance above the batter for the bread to rise. Cover the top of the can lightly with greased foil. Place can inside a deep-sided 3 quart oven-safe pot and pour enough boiling water to reach halfway up can. Bake for 1 hour and 15 mins or until edges of the bread begin to pull away from the sides of the cans. Remove can from the pot of water, uncover, place on a cooling rack and cool for 1 hour before removing bread from the can. Slice bread into thick rounds and serve warm or at room temperature with cream cheese and jam.
