Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup wheat bran
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, unsweetened almond milk, extra virgin olive oil, and eggs until well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure an even top.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the bread and serve it plain or with your favorite spreads. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
