Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans)
- 200 grams Mixed dried fruits (e.g., raisins, dried apricots, cranberries)
- 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
- 120 grams Applesauce
- 80 milliliters Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Add in the chopped nuts and mixed dried fruits to the dry ingredients and stir until they are evenly coated with the flour mixture. This prevents them from sinking during baking.
In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened almond milk, applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Stir well until all wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-60 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, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the fruit bread once cooled and enjoy as a delicious and hearty vegan treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to five days.
