Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground cardamom
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Honey
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Almond milk (or other milk of choice)
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 0.5 cups Raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and raisins (or dried cranberries) at this stage.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 6

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Serve as is or with a spread of almond butter or honey on top. Enjoy!
