Apple meusli bread
from Grazing by Julie Van Rosendall
1 1/2 c. flour
1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
3/4 c. sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 c. milk
1/4 c. canola oil or melted butter
1 large egg
1 grated apple, peeled or unpeeled (I left the peel on and didn't even notice it. more fiber)
1/2 c. dried fruit, such as raisins, cranberries and apricots (this didn't seem like enough fruit, next time I will use more like 3/4 cup)
1/2 c. coarsely chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, almods, hazelnuts)
1 Tbsp. oats
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk oil, milk and egg.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the milk mixture along with the apple. Stir a few strokes, then add dried fruit and nuts and stir until just combined.
Spread into a greased 9" x 5" loaf pan, and sprinkle oats on top. Bake for one hour, until golden and the loaf is springy to the touch. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.
Can be altered:
Replace the dried fruit with fresh or frozen berries and add the grated zest of a lemon.
or
Omit the apple and the dried fruit and increase the nuts to 1 c.
