This is just a quick bread recipe to tie me over until I have time to bake a big batch of old-fashioned, slow rising bread that uses yeast and needs to be kneaded. Quick breads tend to be softer and not hold together as well for sandwiches  but some are quite sturdy. They certainly do make a perfectly good substitute when you don't have time for traditional bread making, as they are incredibly quick. This one gets its nice flavor from molasses, but also has a hearty mix of great grains in it!
