Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup Milk or almond milk
- 1 cup Fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
- 0.75 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup Stevia or erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a bit of oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the milk, and stir until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not over-mix as this can make the bread dense.
Fold in the chopped cranberries and walnuts. Ensure that the cranberries and walnuts are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread and enjoy your healthy, sugar-free cranberry walnut bread!
