How to Make Mini Fruit And Sunflower Loaves

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups and level with a knife.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornmeal, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, ¼ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup mixed dried fruit (cranberries, raisins, etc.), ½ cup sunflower seeds, and the zest of 1 orange.
  7. Grease four mini loaf pans (approximately 5x3 inches) with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared loaf pans.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. For a full-sized loaf pan (9x5 inches), bake for 50-55 minutes.
  10. Remove from pans and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
