Grease a 9x5 loaf pan and line with parchment paper - I recommend leaving the paper to overhang the pan by a few inches to it’s easy to lift the bread out.
Mix all dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the syrup, oil, and water together. Then, while stirring, pour the wet into the dry and mix well. Everything needs to be evenly moist. Transfer the mixture into the loaf pan & shape the top of the bread. Let this sit on the counter for a few hours (or overnight).
Bake at 350F for 20 minutes - then remove the bread from the pan (the overhanging parchment paper helps with this) and place onto the wire rack of the oven. Bake for another 30 minutes until the bread feels firm. Remove from the oven and try not to snack on the bread while letting it cool!
Notes
This bread tastes great with cream cheese, cucumbers and smoked salmon. But I’ll settle for a chocolate almond spread just as well. Enjoy!
