Ingredients

  • 4 cups light spelt flour
  • 1 1/2 cups dark raisins
  • 1/4 cup raw sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup Sucanat sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 1/8 cups unsweetened almond milk

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Lightly coat a 9-x-S-inch loaf pan with vegetable oil, clarified butter (see Notes), or cooking spray, or line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, raisins, sesame seeds, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
  • Add the milk to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly with a spoon until a stiff batter forms.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared loaf pan.
  • Gently knock the bottom of the pan on your kitchen counter to remove any air pockets in the batter.
  • Cover the pan with aluminum foil to keep the top of the loaf from splitting.
  • Bake for 40 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from oven, discard the foil, and return the pan to the oven.
  • Bake for 30 additional minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  • Let cool.
  • Toast slices and serve them along with a non-hydrogenated margarine or Clarified Butter (see Notes).
