Green Tea Walnut Loaf
Did you know you could bake with green tea? It’s yet another way to get more of the super beverage into your diet.
Here, the antioxidant-packed steeped leaves are one ingredient in a loaf that’s a great alternative to zucchini or banana bread.
Enjoy a slice (topped with a hunk of nut butter for protein) with your morning or afternoon cup of (green) tea.

WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
In addition to the many health benefits of green tea, this loaf contains other nutritious foods like coconut oil, heart-healthy walnuts, and cinnamon. And while it’s still a baked good, we cut back on the bad stuff by using whole grain pantry flour and minimal sugar.
