Preheat the oven to 350
Preheat your oven to a comfortable temperature and generously grease a standard-sized 9×5 inch loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray for effortless food release.
Combine all loaf ingredients in a food processor and pulse until they form a rough, textured mixture, taking care not to overprocess or achieve a smooth consistency.
Carefully mold the composition into the well-greased bread pan, ensuring a smooth and even surface.
Combining the ketchup, maple syrup, and mustard in a small bowl, whisk until smooth.
Gently spread the mixture evenly across the surface of the loaf, ensuring complete coverage.
As you’re halfway through cooking, consider drizzling an additional dollop of ketchup glaze atop your dish to elevate the flavors and textures.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Allow 10 minutes to elapse before proceeding with the slicing process.
Savoring each bite, I find joy in serving this delightful dish with a small drizzle of its sweet glaze on the side.
