Recipe information

  • Yield

    makes 1 loaf, about 12 slices

Ingredients

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup plain soy yogurt
2 tablespoons safflower oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/4 cup rice milk, or more as needed
1 cup firmly packed grated cheddar-style nondairy cheese
1/4 cup toasted sunflower seeds

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    Step 2

    Combine the first 4 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together.

    Step 3

    In another bowl, combine the yogurt, oil, syrup, mustard, and rice milk. Whisk together until well blended. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until well combined, adding more rice milk as needed to make a smooth, slightly stiff batter.

    Step 4

    Fold in the cheese and half of the sunflower seeds.

    Step 5

    Pour the batter into a lightly oiled 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining sunflower seeds over the top.

    Step 6

    Bake for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crusty. When the loaf pan is cool enough to handle, remove the loaf, place it on a rack, and allow it to cool somewhat before slicing.
