Ingredients:
1/4 cup Zen Basil Seeds
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup milk (you can use any milk of your choice)
2 eggs
1 cup chopped apples
For the Glaze:
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup coconut oil
Ingredients:
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare Zen Basil Seeds:
In a small bowl, mix the Zen Basil Seeds with 1/4 cup of water. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and baking soda. Stir until well combined.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and eggs until well blended.
Add the soaked Zen Basil Seeds to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the wet ingredients mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Make the Glaze:
In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup and coconut oil.
Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is well combined.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
8. Glaze the Bread:
Once the bread is baked and cooled for a few minutes, poke holes in the top using a toothpick or fork.
Pour the warm glaze evenly over the top of the bread, allowing it to soak in.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
