Apricot

This moist and tender vegan loaf marries the vibrant flavor of fresh apricots with a rich almond undertone, elevated by a splash of apricot flavor extract. The batter is simply whisked together—all-purpose and almond flours, sugar, lemon zest, and a hint of apricot extract give it a fragrant boost. Fold in juicy apricot pieces, pour into a loaf pan, and bake until golden and fragrant. The result? A fragrant, golden loaf with apricot pockets and aromatic depth, perfect for brunch, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups all‑purpose flour

    • ½ cup almond flour

    • 1 teaspoon baking powder

    • Pinch of salt

    blank

    • ¾ cup granulated sugar

    • ½ cup olive oil (or neutral oil)

    • ¼ cup plant‑based milk (e.g., almond or soy)

    • 2 teaspoons apricot flavor extract

    • Zest of 1 lemon

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    blank

    • 1 cup fresh apricot pieces (diced) or dried apricot bits

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5‑inch loaf pan.

    2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.

    3. In a separate bowl, whisk sugar, olive oil, plant‑based milk, apricot flavor extract, lemon zest, and vanilla until smooth and fragrant.

    4. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry mix, just until combined—do not overmix.

    5. Gently fold in the diced apricots, ensuring even distribution throughout the batter.

    6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

    7. Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the loaf is golden.

    8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
