apple, cranberry and walnut bread

recipe from The New Glucose Revolution Vegetarian Cookbook

Makes 12 slices, preparation time 40 minutes,  cook time 45 minutes

1/2 c rolled oats

10 oz milk

1 1/2 c self-rising whole wheat flour

(I only had regular whole wheat flour. Recipe for self rising flour: 1 c flour,  1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt)

1 tsp baking powder

4 1/2 oz dried cranberries

2/3 c firmly packed dried apple, cut into small dice

1/3 c brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp allspice

1/3 floral honey

1/4 c walnuts, finely chopped

1. place rolled oats in a bowl, pour over the milk and set aside 30 minutes.
2. preheat oven to 350 F.
3. Sift flour and baking powder into large bowl. Add the oat mixture, cranberries, apples, sugar, spices and honey and mix well to combine. (I only had fresh fruit and agave nectar, worked fine).
4. Spoon mixture into non-stick (or greased) loaf tin, sprinkle with the walnuts. Bake for 45 minutes-1 hour. 

This is great with a spoonful of ricotta cheese drizzled with honey.
