Easy whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread
An easy no-yeast, no-kneading whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread recipe!
Yield: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ⅓ cup honey
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 9x5 bread pan and set aside.
- Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and stir well.
- Make a well in the center and add the eggs, applesauce, honey, butter and vanilla. Stir the dry ingredients together a bit, then mix into the flour mixture until everything is well combined. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in the raisins.
- Pour the batter into the bread pan and smooth the top.
- Bake at 325 for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown. (Mine takes 45 minutes, but ovens can vary.)
- Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and let cool completely before storing.
Notes
I use white whole wheat flour for baking. You could use regular whole wheat or all-purpose flour - or a combination - if you prefer.
The bread will keep on the counter for 3-5 days, in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for up to 5-6 months. (Wrap it in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Defrost in the fridge overnight and it'll be ready to use.)
This bread has a lot of raisins. You can reduce the amount of raisins to ¾ cup if you’d prefer.
Be sure to break up the raisins as you measure and add them - you don’t want huge clumps of raisins stuck together in your bread.
My kids love this served with a smear of peanut butter on top.
I love doubling the recipe and keeping the extra in the freezer for an easy breakfast another day. (You can freeze half-loaves so you only need to take out how much you plan to eat.)
