Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup chopped mixed nuts (such as walnuts, pecans, and almonds)
• 0.5 cups dried cranberries
• 0.5 cups dried apricots, chopped
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cups milk
• 0.3 cups honey
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped mixed nuts, dried cranberries, and chopped dried apricots to the dry ingredients. Toss to ensure they're evenly coated in the flour mixture.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, milk, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve the Nutty Harvest Loaf on its own, or with a spread of butter or cream cheese for an extra treat!
