Orange Loaf with Dried Apricots and Walnuts

[ 4 ] July 14, 2012 | Marie Poulin

Easy to make, this delightful bread is literally for busy peoples.

I love making quick breads, not only because they are typically fast, but also because they offer so many flavor possibilities.

This loaf-type bread is enriched with dried fruits and nuts. It tastes so good and keep well for few days.

Less sugar and fat content than cake, this apricot bread makes a wonderful breakfast, snack or even a nice dessert for any elaborate occasions.

Ingredients

Instructions

Grease a loaf pan.
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and pale in color.
Stir in the melted butter, coconut oil, orange juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract and yogurt.
Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, until just combined.
Add the dried apricots and walnuts, and mix gently.
Transfer the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.
Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes before unmolding to cool completely.
