Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray two loaf pans with nonstick spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 3/4 cups white whole-wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Set the dry mixture aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup orange zest, 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon almond extract, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/3 cup orange juice, and 2/3 cup almond milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
  • Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and there are no large lumps. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared loaf pans, filling each about three-quarters full.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. Start checking at 30 minutes.
  • Remove the pans from the oven and immediately drizzle 1/4 cup honey evenly over the hot tops of the loaves.
  • Let the loaves cool in the pans briefly, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
