Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 6 slices Low-sodium turkey bacon
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon slices until they are crisp. Once cooked, remove them from the pan and chop into small pieces.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, unsweetened applesauce, and egg until smooth.
Add the low-fat milk to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped turkey bacon, low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh rosemary into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your heart-healthy savory bacon bread!
