Ingredients:
3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp ground ginger
1 1⁄2 tsp cinnamon
1⁄2 tsp ground cloves
1⁄2 tsp salt
1⁄4 tsp finely ground black pepper
2 eggs
1⁄2 cup olive oil
1⁄2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1⁄2 cup plain yogurt (whole milk yogurt is best)
1⁄2 cup molasses
1⁄2 cup honey
1⁄2 cup water
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Coat the inside of a 9″ x13″ inch baking pan with butter. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, and then add olive oil, applesauce, yogurt, molasses, honey and water. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix just until combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs sticking to it. Let cool on a rack for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
