• 1 cup Raisins, chopped dates, or dried fruit
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the milk, honey, and melted coconut oil. Stir until well blended.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins, chopped dates or other dried fruit, and the nuts, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice into bars or squares to serve. Hunza Bread can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
