Homemade Raisin Bread: Kid-Approved and Nutrient-Rich!

I’m excited to share a delightful homemade treat that will have your kids begging for more – my Healthy Raisin Bread!

I’ve given it a nourishing overhaul with wholemeal spelt flour, ensuring those grains are packed with goodness. Eggs, nature’s protein-packed gift, adding that soft, fluffy texture. Unsweetened apple sauce – a secret ingredient for natural sweetness and moisture. Honey – a touch of liquid gold to elevate the flavour. Raisins – for that burst of natural sweetness and chewy goodness. And a pinch of cinnamon – for that cozy, comforting aroma! It’s a win-win for both taste and nutrition!

Notes

STORING LEFTOVERS: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
Allergies: For a gluten-free version: Swap wholemeal spelt flour for brown rice flour or a gluten-free flour blend of choice. For an egg-free version: Swap egg for a store-bought egg replacer or use a flax egg (1 egg = 1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water) or chia egg (1 egg = 1 tbsp chia seed meal + 3 tbsp water).
Easy ingredient swaps: Swap pumpkin for steamed sweet potato. Swap raisins for sultanas or dried fruit of choice. Swap maple syrup for honey.
Additional boosters: Add 1-2 tbsp of chia seeds to the batter before baking.
Baby-friendly version: Leave out maple syrup. Serve mashed or cut into finger food-sized pieces.
