Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup oat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 large lemon zest (grated lemon skin)
1/4 cup flaxmeal (soaked in 1/2 cup warm water)
1/3 cup + 2 tbsp. maple syrup
1/4 cup lemon juice or 1 large lemon juice
1/8 cup almond milk/oat milk
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup halved/sliced fresh blackberries

Instructions

Preheat oven at 350-degree Fahrenheit and prepare 8 ½ inch bread/loaf pan with a parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl combine whole wheat flour, oat flour, baking powder and salt. Mix it well and then fold in lemon zest in the flour mixture nicely.
Now, to the flour mixture, add soaked flaxmeal, maple syrup, lemon juice, milk and vanilla extract. Whip it well to form a dough like batter.
Fold in blackberries and mix gently again (do not over mix, just scatter the blackberries throughout the batter).
Spoon the batter out in the prepared bread/loaf pan and shape it according to the pan with a flat spatula. Place it in the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Once done, turn it off and take it out. Place the pan on a flat counter to cool down. Gently, pull out the parchment paper along with the bread and place it on a flat working counter. Let it cool. Slice and enjoy.

Notes

How to store - As soon as the bread cools down slice it and spread each slice in a single layer to cool down further at room temperature. Then, store it in an air tight container and refrigerate for about 3 weeks.
How to re-heat – toast the slices for 1-2 minutes or re-bake it at 350-degree Fahrenheit for 3-4 minutes or enjoy it straight from the fridge.
This recipe makes 10 thick slices and the serving size is 1 slice per person.
You may bake it in 9*5 inch bread/loaf pan as well. It may come out little longer than the original but will rise perfectly and taste the same.
