Apple Pie Bread

I love Fall Season! This is the time when your house starts smelling like grandma’s kitchen. I remember as a child, my grandma used to bake all kinds of delicious treats. One of my favorite is apple pie. Today I decided to give it a little twist, I made this Apple Pie Bread using oats, banana, eggs, pecans, spices, and of course the apples. It’s a bit healthier and so delicious. 

 

   

HERE ARE THE INGREDIENTS:

1 cup old-fashioned oats

1 banana

3 eggs

4 oz. unsweetened apple sauce

2 tablespoon brown sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for topping

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 apples, peeled, cored, cubed

2 tablespoons pecans, chopped

 

 

STEP-BY-STEP 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a mini loaf pan tin or one regular loaf pan. In a food processor, add the oats, pulse for a minute or until fine texture like a flour. 
  • Add the banana, eggs, apple sauce, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

 

  

 

  • Run the food processor until everything’s well blended or smooth.
  • Pour the batter into a bowl.

 

  

 

  • Then fold in the apple into the batter.
  • Scoop the batter into each mini loaf pan, about 3/4 full.
  • Top with chopped pecans and reserved brown sugar.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the toothpick inserted come our clean. It might take longer time to bake if you’re using a regular loaf pan. 

 

 

  • Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
