Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Poppy seeds
- 1 cup Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon Grated lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Stir well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, applesauce, honey, vegetable oil, and grated lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as this can make the bread dense.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 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.
Slice and serve the bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious sugar-free poppy seed bread!
