Ingredients

• 2  cups whole wheat flour
• 2 1⁄2 tablespoons ground ginger
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1  teaspoon clove
• 1⁄8 teaspoon sea salt
• 3⁄4 tablespoon stevia or 30  drops liquid stevia
• 1⁄2 cup blackstrap molasses
• 1⁄4 cup maple syrup
• 3⁄4 cup  rice milk or 3⁄4 cup  oat milk
• 1⁄2 cup ground flax seeds
• 1⁄8 cup canola oil
•  zest of one organic orange
• 2  teaspoons baking soda
• 1  cup boiling water

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients well except for the baking soda, water, and flour. In a small bowl, combine the baking soda and boiling water, and immediately stir into the other bowl, mixing well (this activates your rising agent). Using a whisk or kitchenaid, gradually and lightly blend in the flour to prevent lumping. Pour into a lightly greased bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
