Serves: 12
(serving size: 1 slice)

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Total Time: 75 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat flour

1/4 cup bran flakes or other whole grain cereal

1/4 cup wheat germ

2 teaspoons ground allspice

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon ground cloves

½ cup 100% apple juice or cider

1/2 cup applesauce

1/2 cup plain or vanilla yogurt

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a 9×5 loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, bran flakes, wheat germ, allspice, baking powder, baking soda and cloves. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

In a small bowl, mix the apple juice, applesauce, yogurt, honey, oil and eggs. Beat well and pour in to the center of the dry ingredients. Stir to combine without over mixing.

Fold in the nuts and spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes; turn out of the pan onto a wire rack. Cool completely before cutting.
