Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) plain 2% Greek yogurt
  • 6 Tbsp (75 g) coconut palm sugar*
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (60 g) quick oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup (120 g) whole wheat pastry flour**
  • 1 medium-size apple, peeled, shredded and lightly squeezed of excess juice*** (115 g or 1 cup)

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF (176ºC), and lightly grease a 9 x 5 (23cm x 13cm) loaf pan or line it with a sheet of parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs until the yolks break apart. Whisk in the applesauce, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla, mixing until smooth.
  • Stir in the oats, baking soda, spices, and salt. Spoon in the flour and give it a few stirs before adding in the shredded apple. Fold everything together gently until just combined.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly, and top with a sprinkle of coconut sugar if you like things a little sweeter. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you find the top browning too quickly, make a little tent out of aluminum foil, and lightly place it over the top of the pan at around 25 minutes.
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack to cool completely.
