Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Rolled oats
- 120 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
- 60 ml Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 ml Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 medium Apple, grated
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until evenly blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the grated apple, along with walnuts or almonds and chia seeds if using, to distribute evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
