Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 60 grams Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Dried cranberries
- 80 grams White chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Milk (low-fat)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease or line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, Greek yogurt, and applesauce until smooth and well blended.
Add the eggs, one at a time, into the wet mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Add the dried cranberries and white chocolate chips into the batter, folding gently to distribute them evenly.
If the batter feels too thick, stir in up to 2 tablespoons of low-fat milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the loaf as a light, sweet snack or dessert. Enjoy!
