Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the applesauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, egg, and milk. Mix well until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should still be slightly lumpy.
Fold in the dried cranberries with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
