Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and grated
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Stir in the raisins and grated apple until evenly distributed. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the honey, unsweetened applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread 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.
Slice and serve! This bread pairs wonderfully with a thin layer of butter or cream cheese.
