• 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1/2 cup pistachios, chopped
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup almond milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a loaf pan with a small amount of oil or use a non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the spelt flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, dried cranberries, chopped pistachios, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.
4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with the spatula if necessary.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
8. Once cooled, slice the loaf and serve.
