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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Make sure not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
Step 5
Gently fold in the chopped walnuts and raisins, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
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.
