Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.75 cups Granola (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, if batter is too thick)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced apples and granola with a spatula. If the batter feels too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to loosen it slightly.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle extra granola on top for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve it as is, or spread with a bit of butter or cream cheese for a delicious treat!
