Bread Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 1 cup applesauce (homemade or chunky style)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar (add more if needed to thicken)
- 1/4 cup applesauce
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9.25 x 5.25 x 2.75 inch metal nonstick loaf pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all purpose flour, 1 cup oats, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Stir by hand until evenly mixed.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 beaten eggs, 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 cup applesauce, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until well blended.
- Mix wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently by hand until just combined to avoid overmixing and tough bread.
- Bake the bread: Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully baked.
- Prepare the glaze: While the bread bakes, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar and 1/4 cup applesauce until smooth. Add more powdered sugar if you need a thicker glaze.
- Glaze the bread: Once the bread has cooled slightly but is still warm, pour the glaze evenly over the top. The glaze will settle into cracks and keep the bread moist with a slightly sticky finish.
Notes
- Use homemade or chunky style applesauce for best texture and flavor.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to maintain a light crumb.
- This bread keeps well at room temperature for 2-3 days and can be frozen for longer storage.
- The glaze adds moisture and sweetness but can be skipped if you prefer a less sweet bread.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil or butter if desired.
