1 Tablespoon flaxseed meal in 3 Tablespoons warm water

1 cup canned peaches, drained

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/3 cup vegan sugar

Zest of one lemon

2 Tablespoons canola oil

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Pinch salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together flaxseed meal and water. Set aside to congeal.

Add all other ingredients to a food processor or powerful blender and process until smooth and well-combined. Pour in flaxseed combination and pulse until incorporated.

Pour into the prepared loaf pan and bake 50-60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool for 25-30 minutes before turning out and slicing to serve.

Optional Lemon Icing

1/2 cup vegan powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon lemon extract 

1-2 Tablespoons water

Add all ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together. For a more liquid icing, add a few drops more water at a time until desired viscosity is achieved. Pour over cooled cake and serve immediately.
