Directions

• Preheat your oven to 175C (347F) and lightly grease a loaf tin.
• In a big bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together except the dried fruit and nuts.
• Add the nuts and dried fruit and mix to incorporate.
• In a separate bowl, mix all the liquid ingredients - flax eggs, almond milk, apple puree, maple syrup, and coconut oil.
• Pour all that into the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk until everything is well incorporated.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and top with oats, hemp seeds, raisins, and pecans if desired.
• Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Take the loaf out of the oven and let cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
• Remove it from the tin and cool completely before slicing (or at least for as long as your patience lets you).
• Store at room temperature for 3-4 days.
