Whisk all the dry ingredients and spices in a large bowl.

In a blender, add all the wet ingredients and the apple and banana. Blend until smooth.

If you're adding nuts, chop them up using a food processor.

Mix everything together in the large bowl.

Drop the batter into a loaf pan, muffin pan, or donut pan.

Bake for 40 minutes at 375 degrees. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 10-15 more minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. It's better to over-bake than under-bake this.

Cool completely before slicing.

Note: if you don't have baking powder, you can make your own by mixing 1 tsp lemon juice and 1/4 tsp baking soda in a small bowl first. Don't add this to the blender, mix it in when adding everything to the large bowl.
