Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2/3 cup creamy almond butter
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt
- 1/2 cup raisins
- Optional finely chopped pecans to sprinkle on top*
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a medium size loaf pan** with parchment paper with a couple of inches overlapping for easy removal later on
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and salt.
-
Stir the dry mixture into the wet until just combined, then gently fold in the raisins
-
Transfer the mixture into the parchment lined loaf pan using a spatula to scrape the bowl. Spread out evenly in the pan and sprinkle with finely chopped pecans if desired*
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean and the top is deep golden brown.
-
Remove from oven and allow to sit in the pan for 2 minutes before picking up both sides of the parchment paper to transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Cool on the wire rack at least 1 hour before slicing and serving. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to one week - you can toast the bread by the slice before serving.
-
Enjoy alone or with your favorite butter or nut butter! We toasted ours and spread it with Kerrygold salted butter for an incredible breakfast treat!
