⏲️ Baking time

🍎 Ingredients
- Oat Flour: or any other flour
- Honeycrisp apple or Gala
- Apple sauce
- Baking Powder and Baking Soda
- Pinch of salt
- Spices: Ground Cinnamon, Ground Ginger, and Ground Nutmeg
- Eggs, at room temperature
- Oil: I used Coconut Oil
- Sugar: Coconut Sugar or any other sugar

- Vanilla Extract
- Greek Yogurt
- Pecans, roughly chopped plus more to garnish
🔪 Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Spray a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, and set aside. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
In a large bowl whisk together eggs, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add in greek yogurt and apple puree and mix until just combined.
Whisk in the oat flour and baking powder. Gently fold in the pecans, but careful not to over-mix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Garnish with a few whole pecans the top of the loaf. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check it halfway through and cover with aluminum foil, if needed, to prevent browning too much. Allow it to cool before slicing and serving.
💬 Top Tips
- you can use any other nuts instead of pecans or skip it all together.
- Flour: You do not have to use oat flour. Use whatever you have on hand or a combination of two different flours.
- Allow the bread to cool before cutting.
📝 Common Questions
I used only apple puree in this apple cinnamon bread recipe but if you would like to add some fresh apples the best ones to use would be Granny Smith apples. They are sweet and tarty at the same time and do well with baking. Chop them into smaller pieces or shred them using a grater, and add them in when mixing the eggs sugar and maple syrup. Adding fresh apples will make them extra moist.
Absolutely. You can freeze apple bread for up to 3 months. Wrap the whole bread or leftovers tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store in the freezer.
This bread will last up to 10 days when stored in a container in the fridge.
Yes. Carefully wrap the bread or place it in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Remove the frozen loaf of bread and place it in the fridge to thaw the night before. Remove from plastic wrap and keep on the kitchen counter to reach room temperature. You can either cut a piece and reheat it in the microwave or you can bake the whole bread in the oven at 350 F again to reheat it and give it that fresh taste.

Hello Rena,
Thank you very much for your recipe.
Should the baking powder and the baking soda weigh in Tbsp and not in Tsp?
Just to make sure it is not a typo.
The same applies for the vanilla extract
Hi. It is teaspoon
Do you make the apple purée yourself and, if so, is there a recipe or directions? Or is apple purée just applesauce?
You can make your own or use storebought. Yes apple sauce works
Could you please let me know if the nutritional information is per serving or for the whole loaf in your bread recipes?
Hi There. It’s per serving.
