Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 cups graham flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.333 cup honey
- 0.333 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, graham flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, unsweetened applesauce, water, apple cider vinegar, canola oil, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices of low sodium graham bread plain, or top with your favorite low sodium spread.
