Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 cups graham flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.333 cup honey
• 0.333 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan lightly with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, graham flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the honey, unsweetened applesauce, water, apple cider vinegar, canola oil, and egg until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve slices of low sodium graham bread plain, or top with your favorite low sodium spread.
