Ingredients

• 120 grams Rolled oats
• 120 grams Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 120 ml Unsweetened applesauce
• 60 ml Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 60 ml Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 medium Apple, grated
• 50 grams Chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until evenly blended.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Gently fold in the grated apple, along with walnuts or almonds and chia seeds if using, to distribute evenly throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
