Ingredients Breakdown

Dry Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour – Base structure for the bread.

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats – Adds heartiness and texture.

• 1/4 tsp salt – Balances sweetness and enhances flavor.

• 2 tsp cinnamon – Infuses warmth and classic apple-pie spice.

• 2 tsp baking powder – Helps the bread rise and stay fluffy.

Wet Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar – Sweetens the loaf.

• 3/4 cup vegetable oil – Keeps it moist and tender.

• 2 eggs, beaten – Binds the ingredients together.

• 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt – Adds creaminess and moisture while boosting protein.

• 1 cup applesauce – Brings natural sweetness and apple flavor (chunky or homemade preferred).

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract – Enhances the overall flavor.

Glaze

• 1 cup powdered sugar – Sweet base for a smooth glaze.

• 1/4 cup applesauce – Adds natural apple flavor and a glossy finish.

Tips and Tricks:

• Don’t overmix – This can lead to dense, rubbery bread.

• Use chunky homemade applesauce for added texture and flavor.

• Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to avoid melting.

Variations and Customizations:

• Add chopped apples or nuts (like walnuts or pecans) for added crunch.

• Swap sugar for coconut sugar for a refined sugar-free version.

• Use whole wheat flour for added fiber (start with 1½ cups to test moisture).

Pairing Suggestions:

• Serve with black coffee, spiced tea, or warm apple cider.

• Top with peanut butter, almond butter, or a dollop of vanilla yogurt.

• Toast slices lightly and serve with a pat of butter or honey.

Storage Instructions:

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

• Refrigerator: Lasts up to 5–6 days when properly sealed.

• Freezer: Wrap slices individually and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight or reheat gently in the microwave.

Popular Questions:

Can I make this recipe dairy-free?

Yes! Use coconut yogurt and egg substitutes like flax eggs for a dairy-free version.

Can I use quick oats instead of old-fashioned oats?

Yes, but expect a softer texture. Old-fashioned oats give a heartier crumb.

Can I make this into muffins?

Absolutely. Fill muffin liners ¾ full and bake at 350°F for 18–20 minutes.
