Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pitted prunes
- 1 cup Hot water
- 0.5 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Milk (any type)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the pitted prunes and hot water. Let the prunes soak for 10 minutes to soften, then puree them in a blender or food processor until smooth. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, milk, vanilla extract, and the prepared prune puree until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir the mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts at this stage.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the High Fiber Prune Bread plain or with a spread of butter, cream cheese, or your favorite toppings.
