Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Start by preheating the oven to 350° and coat a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Prep: melt the coconut oil and set aside. Add apple cider vinegar to the soy milk and let it sit in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Almonds and Raisins: mix almonds and raisins with 1/4 cup of sucanat or sugar and 1 tsp of maple syrup. Let them sit while working on the rest.

Dry ingredients: whisk together the two flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and cornstarch.

Wet ingredients: Mix the remaining 1/4 cup sucanat (or sugar), maple syrup, coconut oil, zest, and vanilla. Stir the flaxseed into the almond milk and add to the mixture.

Combine: Combine the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients but don’t over-mix.

Pour the batter into a ready loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes. After 50 minutes, check if it's ready with a cake poker or a toothpick. If the poker does not come out clean, cook until ready.  Usually not more than 10 additional minutes.

Take out of the pan and let it sit on a cooling rack until completely cool.
