I was trying to use up a few slightly sad looking fruits in the fridge before our weekly shopping run, and knew that I also hadn’t made any goodies for my classmates lately, so I scouted around my baking cupboard for what else I could use. That turned into a bit of a pantry “dump” for me – long overdue – and yielded more appley stuff than I ever realized I owned! I also peeked into my freezer, and would up elbow-deep in icy things looking for the part-can of coconut cream I froze after making my dad’s curry. Soon I had the makings of a real gem: a no-fat-added, wheat- and nut-free, vegan sweet treat that I regretted not making more of – it disappeared so quickly that I had a few students hounding me the rest of the day!
Apple Insanity Bread
Serves 10
¾ cup oat flour
1 cup spelt flour
½ cup Kamut flakes
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
3 pkg instant apple cider powder
¼ tsp salt
3 tbsp flaxseed meal + 1/3 c hot apple-herb tea
½ cup raw sugar
1 cup full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla
½ oz dried apples, diced
1 medium apple, unpeeled and grated
1 medium apple, unpeeled and finely chopped
- Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, Kamut flakes, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt.
- In a large bowl, beat together the flaxseed mixture, sugar, coconut milk and vanilla.
- Add the dry ingredients all at once and stir just to moisten.
- Add all the apples and fold in until just incorporated.
- Bake for 1 hour on the lowest rack of the oven - or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
- Cool in the pan about 10 minutes, then turn out of the pan onto the rack and cool completely.
