Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups Wheat bran
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 6 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon 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 small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed with water and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken. This will be your flax egg.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, mix the flax egg, brown sugar, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can result in a dense bread.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
