ingredients
- 354.88 ml whole wheat flour
- 236.59 ml flour
- 591.47 ml wheat bran
- 14.79 ml baking soda
- 9.85 ml ground cinnamon
- 4.92 ml ground ginger
- 2.46 ml ground nutmeg
- 4.92 ml salt
- 2 large granny smith apples, coarsely grated
- 591.47 ml plain Greek yogurt
- 157.80 ml honey
- 157.80 ml unsweetened applesauce
- 4 large eggs
- 9.85 ml vanilla extract
- 44.37 ml flax seeds
- 354.88 ml shredded coconut (I use a mix of sweetened and unsweetened)
- 236.59 ml dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, chopped dates, diced figs, etc.)
- 236.59 ml lightly toasted chopped pecans
directions
- Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Spray a large loaf pan and one 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick baking spray. Alternatively, you may opt to line the muffin cups with paper liners, but spritz the insides of the liners with baking spray to ensure that the muffins do not stick.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, flour, wheat bran, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.
- Squeeze the excess liquid from the grated apples and place the apples in a separate large bowl. Add the yogurt, honey, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla and stir to blend.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just blended. Stir in the flax seeds, coconut, dried fruit, and pecans.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and muffin tins. Bake at 375F until a cake tester or toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, 20-25 minutes for the muffins and 55-65 minutes for the bread. Let the pans cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes and then carefully un-mold. Cool completely.
- Store the bread/muffins in the refrigerator, wrapped in plastic wrap or sealed in zip-top bags.
