APPLE WALNUT LOAF

This recipe for an apple walnut loaf is made with almond meal (ground almonds) instead of flour.  It also doesn't contain added sugar or sweetener.  Instead of baking it in a loaf pan I used a rectangle cake pan.  I did find the loaf to be not sweet enough and I put some honey on the pieces I ate as did the DH.    We both enjoyed the loaf.

Just out of the oven.

First sample of apple walnut loaf. 

Numerous samples.

INGREDIENTS:


2 cups ground almond meal
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 tbsp ground flaxseed
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup sour cram or coconut milk


DIRECTIONS:


Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.  In a medium size mixing bowl combine the ground almonds, walnuts, flaxseed, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.  In a second bowl, combine the eggs, applesauce, oil and sour cream.  Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.  Mix everything together.  If the mixture is too dry, add a tbsp or two of sour cream or coconut milk.

Pour the batter into a non-stick or greased 9 X 5 inch loaf pan.  Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until a toothpick comes out dry.  Allow to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes and then turn out.  Slice and serve.
