Breakfast Loaf
by SweetHeart » July 9th, 2012, 5:57 pm I've been eating low carb apple cake for breakfast. It's great to just grab a slice and butter it. So I thought I'd make one that was a bit heartier, a bit more breakfasty. This one is about 6g carbs per slice and very filling.
One large cooking apple, cored,finely chopped and cooked, or approximately 275ml apple puree
(if you use ready made, check the carb content!)
400g ground almonds
50g coconut flour
5 to 10g Splenda type sweetener (to taste)
1½ tsp cinnamon
1½ tsp mixed spice
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1½ tbsp baking powder
50g mixed seeds (I used Neal's Yard Omega Mix)
50g chopped walnuts
110g butter, melted
3 eggs beaten
45ml double cream
1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
1 large loaf (10 x 4") or square tin, lined.
Mix all of the dry ingredients together. Mix all of the wet ingredients together, add them to the dry ingredients and mix well. Stir in the pureed apple ( I cooked my own, and whizzed with a hand blender to break the skin up. You could cook the apple peeled)
Mix well and turn into the prepared tin. Bake at about Gas 3, 160c, 325f, for about 45 minutes or until a skewer comes out cleanly. Cool on a wire rack.
This can be served warm or cold or toasted, with butter (to lower the GI) and can also be frozen in slices for convenience.
16 slices; 6g carbs per slice.
