Ingredients
Organic Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups gluten free oat flour (can use ground whole oats)
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp himalayan pink salt
- ½ cup raisins
- ¾ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
Organic Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup water
- ½ cup + 2 TB coconut milk (or any other milk)
- 3 TB melted coconut oil
- ½ cup ripe banana, mashed
- 2 TB maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Eggs
- 2 flax seed eggs: 2 TB ground flax seeds + 6 TB warm water mixed
- OR 2 whole eggs (whisked)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Oil bottom and sides of bread pan very well with melted coconut oil using a pastry brush.
- Add all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl (except raisins and nuts): oat flour (you can make this by grinding whole oats in the food processor), almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- In a small bowl, add 2 TB ground flax seeds + 6 TB warm water and allow to gel for 5 minutes. Alternatively, you can use 2 large whole eggs instead of flax seeds with water and add the eggs to the wet ingredients in the next step.
- Add all wet ingredients into a medium mixing bowl: water, milk, coconut oil, mashed banana, maple syrup and vanilla extract (and 2 eggs if you are using eggs instead of flax seeds with water). Whisk until well mixed. The batter will get thicker within a few minutes.
- Add the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients and mix together well. If you are using flax seeds (instead of eggs), then also add the flax seed + water mixture into the dry and wet ingredients.
- Stir in raisins and walnuts or pecans.
- Pour batter into well oiled bread pan. Optionally, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans on top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes in oven. Insert a toothpick to see if the bread is cooked throughout.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Use a knife to cut around the outside edge of the bread to help the bread come easily out of the pan.
- Place the bread on a cooling rack for at least 2 hours before cutting the bread because the bread is very crumbly if you cut it before it cools off.
- Slice the bread and place the bread back into the baking pan. Store the bread in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or keep it in freezer and thaw or toast before eating.
