Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup + 2 tablespoons wheat germ
- 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
- .25 cup raisins
- sprinkling of soy protein powder (optional)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1.5 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon molasses or brown vegan sugar (optional)
- 1 apple, chopped into fine bits
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F.
Coat bottom and sides of a 9x9 baking
pan with oil. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons
of the wheat germ, and spread evenly
over the oil.
Combine 1 cup of the wheat germ, the
flour, the cinnamon and the baking
soda. Add up to 1 tablespoon of vegan
protein powder, if desired. Stir
thoroughly. Add raisins and chopped
apple.
Make a well in the middle of the dry
ingredients mixture. Combine orange
juice and vinegar, and pour into dry
ingredients. Stir thoroughly, but no
more than necessary to combine
ingredients. Add 1 tablespoon of
molasses or brown sugar, if desired (I
sometimes omit a sweetener, since the
orange juice, apples and raisins
produce a tangy sweetness of their
own).
Turn batter into the baking pan. Bake
at 350F for 30-45 minutes, or until
lightly browned on top.
