For the Orange Drizzle:

Preparation

  1. Preheat and Prepare:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.


  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, almond flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.


  3. Prepare Wet Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, orange juice, orange zest, almond milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.


  4. Combine Wet and Dry:

    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.


  5. Bake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.


  6. Prepare the Drizzle:

    • While the loaf is baking, prepare the orange drizzle by mixing orange juice, maple syrup or honey, and orange zest in a small saucepan. Heat gently until the mixture thickens slightly.


  7. Drizzle and Serve:

    • Once the loaf is baked and cooled slightly, drizzle the orange mixture over the top.

    • Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing.

    • Serve and enjoy this delightful and healthy Orange Drizzle Loaf!
