  • Old Fashioned Oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt

How to Make Apple Pie Bread Healthy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg, 1 large egg white, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup honey, and ½ cup vegetable oil with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 1 cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients and beat until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the dry ingredients and 2 cups peeled and diced apples into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If browning too quickly, tent with foil.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
