For morning tea many enjoy a muffin, cake, biscuit or sweet baked treat but lots of these items typically contain high amounts of sugar (as well as gluten and often dairy also).

We’ve come up with a healthy alternative with our recipe for morning tea loaf which contains no added sweeteners and is gluten free, grain free, dairy free and preservative free.

This yummy spiced morning tea loaf is naturally sweetened with the the juice from the orange as well as the fresh apple so no added sweeteners are needed.

Nutrition 101:

  • The combination of almond meal and coconut milk adds a balance of beneficial fats and help to make this loaf satisfying.

Notes

Make It Personal:
  • We like to stick to natural sweetness found in the orange and apple for this recipe but if you like to add a hint of extra sweetness you can add a
    little raw honey, pure maple syrup or sweetener of choice.
Recipe Tips:
  • You can also bake your mixture in lined muffin trays to make approx 10- 12 muffins.
Sensitive to FODMAPs?
  • If you can tolerate almonds make this recipe fodmap friendly by omitting diced apple and substitute for blueberries, chopped strawberries or another low fodmap fruit of choice.
