This week's post-workout snack:

Ginger Molasses Quick Bread

1 1/2 cups dark rye flour or whole wheat or spelt flour

1-inch knob fresh ginger, or 1 tsp ground

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp fine sea salt

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 egg 

1 cup whole milk yogurt

1/2 cup molasses

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup golden raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan with butter.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, yogurt, molasses, butter, and raisins. Add to the dry ingredients and stir just enough to bring the batter together. Do not overmix. The batter will be very thick.

4. Pour into the loaf pan and bake until a butter knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. 

5. Cool in the pan 10 minutes, then transfer the loaf to a wire rack and allow to cool completely prior to slicing.

Nutrition Tip of the Week: Molasses is a byproduct of the sugar making process. Compared to white sugar, molasses contains many vitamins and minerals including iron, potassium, copper, and magnesium. Try using molasses in baked goods, sauces, and glazes to add some extra nutrients!
