Almond Oat and Fruit Loaf
This almond, oat and fruit loaf is unlike any loaf you've had. It's part savory part sweet and is best slathered with some nut butter and jam, eaten as a mid afternoon or post workout snack. This recipe is dairy free and can be gluten free if using Gluten Free Oats
Dietary: Dairy Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegetarian 1 1/2 C oats ground into flour 1 C almond flour 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1 tsp cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice) 200g dried fruit roughly chopped (I used pears, peaches, apricots and prunes) 1 apple peeled and chopped into small pieces 4 eggs 1/4 C water Preheat your oven to 170C and line a loaf pan with paper. Set aside
Combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl. Add in the dried fruit and apples and mix. This helps them not sink to the bottom.
In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs and water.
Add eggs and water to the dry mixture and mix to combine.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf tin and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the pan comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in loaf pan for 5 minutes, remove from loaf pan and completely cool on a wire rack.
Serve with nut butter and jam. Store bread in an airtight container for up to a week.
