Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup chopped mixed nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, and almonds)
- 0.5 cups dried cranberries
- 0.5 cups dried apricots, chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cups milk
- 0.3 cups honey
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the chopped mixed nuts, dried cranberries, and chopped dried apricots to the dry ingredients. Toss to ensure they're evenly coated in the flour mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf 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 Nutty Harvest Loaf on its own, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese for an extra treat!
