Delicious "all free" cinnamon and dried fruit loaf/bread

A vegan and gluten-free snack bread loaded with dried fruit and seeds (10 slices)

There are so many possible variations if you use chickpea flour, brown rice and baking soda (and water) as the base

Ingredients
¾ cup chickpea flour (tapioca flour)
½ cup brown rice flour
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp Himalayan rock salt
¾ cup +2 tbsp water
¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce (you can juice yourself)
2 tbsp unpasterurized honey (organic)
1 tbsp extra virgin coconut oil, melted (use boiling water in a bowl with coconut oil in a cup)
1 cup mixture of dried cherries, cranberries, dates, figs, raisins, and apricots (as you wish)
½ cup misture of sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds.

Instructions
Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment or wax paper across both sides for easy lifting
Combine dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl. Add wet ingredients. The consistency should be similar to a muffin. (I used my blender on pulse action)
Add dried fruit and seeds afterwards
Pour mix into prepared pan
Bake for 35 – 40 mins until sides begin to brown and top will be cracked and toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, lift from the pan and place on a cooling rack for 20 mins before cutting with a sharp knife

  1. Sounds absolutely delicious, and easy, and vegan!

    Just to let you know chick pea flour and tapioca flour are two different flours.
