Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 tbs honey
  • cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup coconut flour
  • cup spelt flour whole grain
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 peaches peeled and finely chopped
  • cup walnuts roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 8 x 4 (or 9 x 5) inch loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper and grease it well with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl combine coconut flour, spelt flour, baking powder and salt. Stir and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer beat eggs with honey and sugar for about 5 minutes, until the volume of the mixture doubles or triples.
  • Add oil and vanilla and beat until absorbed. Add milk and beat just for few seconds.
  • Using a rubber spatula gradually fold in the dry ingredients until completely absorbed.
  • At the end fold in also the peaches and the walnuts, until evenly distributed in the batter. It's going to be a thicker batter than you expect; that's okay!
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake about 45 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the centre of the loaf comes out clean and the top of the bread becomes golden brown.
  • Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then slice and serve with butter or toppings of choice!

Notes

  • Add more flavors like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, or a little molasses! The flavor profile is up to you.
  • The batter is going to look dense. That's normal! Coconut flour is extremely water-absorbing and will make the batter look a lot more dense than you might expect it to look.
  • Serve this delicious loaf as a dessert by pouring an easy glaze over top. Just mix together 2 Tablespoons of melted butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and about 2 Tablespoons of hot milk or water, plus any extract of choice. Beat or mix with a fork until creamy, then pour over your loaf!
  • This nutritious loaf works with other fruit variations! Try it with chopped apples, bananas, or even diced pears or apricots!
