Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granola
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat)
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups dried fruit (e.g., raisins, cranberries, or chopped apricots)
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granola, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the dried fruit and chopped nuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and serve plain, or with a spread of butter, cream cheese, or your favorite jam. Enjoy!
