Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Flaxseed meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
- 0.5 cup Raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, flaxseed meal, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure there are no clumps.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Make sure not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve your Whole30 Bran Cake, either on its own or with a topping of your choice, such as a dollop of unsweetened almond yogurt or fresh berries.
