healthier apple cinnamon bread |
Cuisine: American
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 60 mins
Total time: 1 hour 15 mins
Ingredients for the bread:
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup plain yoghurt or Greek yoghurt
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 apple, grated with the skin on
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup oats, blended into flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
Ingredients for the topping
- Chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C and grease and flour a rectangular baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, apple sauce, vanilla extract, yoghurt and egg with a wooden spatula. Add the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon and grated apple and mix to combine.
- Add the baking powder, baking soda, oat flour and whole wheat flour and mix to combine. Do not overmix the batter -- it should be just combined, if not the bread will be too dense.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Top with the chopped nuts and sprinkle the brown sugar and more ground cinnamon over the bread.
- Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the bread comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan before moving it to a serving plate.
