Notes
To make this recipe vegan, follow these 2 steps: 1. In a small bowl whisk together ¼ cup ground flaxseeds with ½ cup water. Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken. Add it to the wet ingredients in place of the eggs. 2. Add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to the wet ingredients and 1 additional teaspoon of baking powder to the dry ingredients. This will help the vegan loaves rise a bit. This version is very moist, do not under-bake.
