Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced apples
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by lightly greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
- Place rolled oats in a blender and pulse until they become a fine, flour-like consistency. This creates a gluten-free oat flour base for the bread.
- Add applesauce, maple syrup, almond milk, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to the blender with the ground oats. Blend until the mixture is smooth and completely combined.
- Gently fold the diced apples into the batter by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, using a spatula to spread it evenly and smooth the top.
- Optionally, sprinkle additional cinnamon or a few extra diced apple pieces on top of the batter for added visual appeal and flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. The bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
Tips
- Blend Your Oats Well: For the best texture, make sure to pulse the rolled oats until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency. This will create a light and fluffy bread.
- Choose the Right Apples: Use your favorite apples, such as Granny Smith for a tart flavor or Fuji for sweetness. Diced apples add a lovely texture and burst of flavor to the bread.
- Don’t Skip the Cinnamon: Cinnamon not only enhances the flavor but also adds a warm, inviting aroma to your kitchen as the bread bakes. Feel free to sprinkle some on top before baking for an extra kick!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your bread during the last few minutes of baking. A toothpick should come out clean when it’s ready.
- Storage Tips: To keep your bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it for up to a week, or freeze slices for a quick grab-and-go snack.
