This is a variation on a basic recipe. I will post other variations as I experiment. This is a quick easy breakfast or brunch loaf and it is yeast and dairy free, vegan, as well as diabetic friendly.
3 cups whole wheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 cups orange juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tbs of honey or brown rice syrup (optional, I did not add sweetener and found it sweet enough)
2 tsp orange zest
1/2 cup dried, sugar free cranberries
Mix ingredients together in large bowl or stand mixer adding the cranberries after all other ingredients are mixed. Form into ball and put on lightly floured surface (do not kneed too much), shape into round or oval, score top and bake at 400 for 1/2 hour to 40 minutes or until it is golden brown. Let cool then slice and serve.
I want to make sure that my family eats well. Don't want my kids eating a ton of processed sugar and chemicals however, I want to give them treats and delicious, interesting meals. Add to that my personal sensitivities to all things dairy, cane sugar and bakers yeast - it is a good thing I enjoy baking, cooking and experimenting with recipes. i also believe that making interesting, healthy meals for your family should not be complicated or difficult.
