43 m 10Ingredients
- 1 cup almond or coconut milk
- 3 to 4 Earl Grey Tea Bags
- 2 1/4 cup flour (can substitute gluten free flour)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup crushed/chopped almond (optional)
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×3 loaf pan with parchment paper or grease thoroughly.
2. Steep 2 Earl Grey Tea Bags in 1 cup hot coconut or almond milk. Steep so it’s extra concentrated. Set aside.
3. Sift flour and brown sugar together into a large bowl. Add in the the remaining dry ingredients: baking soda, baking powder, spices, and salt. Mix to combine.
4. Add wet ingredients, one at a time, to the dry mix, starting with tea infused milk, then coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and vinegar. Gently mix together.
5. Lastly, fold in 1/4 cup crushed almonds.
6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and add remaining crushed almonds on top.
7. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at 30 minutes for progress. Depending on your oven, it could take up to 55 minutes to bake. If the bread starts to brown around edges, but is still not cooked through, cover with foil and continue to bake.
8. Remove pan from oven and let cool completely.
