Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup plant-based milk
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup (natural) or agave syrup (natural)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh rhubarb, washed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rhubarb: Wash and finely chop fresh rhubarb to release its vibrant tangy flavor evenly throughout the bread batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and natural gelling agent in a large bowl to ensure even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, vegetable oil, natural sweetener, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and blended.
  4. Bring It All Together: Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry mix, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the bread.
  5. Fold in Rhubarb and Nuts: Carefully fold in chopped rhubarb and optional nuts like walnuts or pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking down the fruit.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Dice Rhubarb Small: Finely chop rhubarb to prevent large soggy spots in the bread.
  • Don’t Overmix: Stir wet and dry ingredients just until combined to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh rhubarb and quality plant-based milk enhance flavor and texture remarkably.
  • Test for Doneness: Check with a toothpick near the end of baking time to avoid overbaking.
  • Let It Cool Completely: Allow the bread to rest before slicing to set its texture and prevent crumbling.
