Morning Glory Breakfast Bread – King Arthur

  • 1 C (149 GR) raisins
  • Zest of ½ orange
  • ½ C (113 GR) orange juice (from about 1½ oranges)
  • 1 LG carrot (145 GR) (peeled)
  • 1 LG or 2 MED sweet apples (275 GR) (like Honeycrisp or Gala) (cored – no need to peel)
  • 3 LG eggs (room temperature)
  • ⅔ C (133 GR) vegetable oil
  • ¼ C (78 GR) maple syrup
  • 2 TSP vanilla Extract
  • 1⅓ C (150 GR) golden wheat flour
  • ⅔ C (62 GR) oat flour or 2 C (226 GR) white whole wheat flour
  • 1 C (53 GR) unsweetened coconut (shredded)
  • ½ C (57 GR) dried cranberries (roughly chopped)
  • 1 TBS cinnamon
  • 1½ TSP table salt
  • 1½ TSP baking powder
  • ¼ TSP baking soda
  • 1 TBS (11 GR) raw sugar (optional)

Oven: 350° F

  1. Preheat the oven with a rack in the center. Grease a 9″x5″ loaf pan, a 9″x4″ Pullman loaf pan, or a tea loaf pan and line with a parchment sling. Grease the parchment.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the raisins, zest, and orange juice. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all or nearly all the liquid is absorbed, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until you have a mostly smooth paste. Then add the carrot and apple; pulse in short bursts until they’re broken down into small pieces but not yet puréed.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, maple syrup, and vanilla until well combined. Add the raisin mixture and whisk to combine.
  4. Add the flours, coconut, cranberries, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda and whisk to combine.
  5. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle evenly with raw sugar, if using.
  6. Bake the morning glory bread for 60 to 70 minutes, until a toothpick or thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the internal temperature registers at least 200° F (it’s better to err on the side of overbakin GR). Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment sling to transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve at room temperature or reheat as desired.
  7. Store morning glory bread well-wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days; freeze for longer storage.

Yields 1 loaf – 16 slices.
