Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep Oven & Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, extra virgin olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, orange zest, and almond milk until smooth and well combined.
4. Blend Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Fold in the chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, golden raisins, and chopped apricots until evenly distributed.
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and scatter extra chopped pistachios over the top. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
