Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Dried mixed fruits
- 80 grams Honey
- 120 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 120 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk them together until evenly distributed.
Add the dried mixed fruits to the flour mixture, ensuring the fruits are well-coated to prevent them from sinking during baking.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the honey, unsweetened applesauce, low-fat milk, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into the well.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a dense bread.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing out the top with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the fruit bread and serve it on its own or with a spread of your choice.
