Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 2 cups fresh rhubarb chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
- grated orange zest for garnish
- additional coconut for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, unsweetened coconut, and cinnamon. Stir until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, orange juice, orange zest, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped rhubarb.
- Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Check the bread at around 30-35 minutes. If it's browning too quickly, cover the tops loosely with aluminum foil and continue baking.
- Once done, let the loaves cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Let them cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For an optional garnish, sprinkle grated orange zest and additional coconut over the top of the cooled loaves.
