Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup water
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan (8×4 inches) or line it with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir to evenly mix.
3️⃣ Mix the wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and water until smooth and well combined.
4️⃣ Combine wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. The batter will be slightly thick and somewhat sticky.
5️⃣ Transfer to the pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
6️⃣ Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7️⃣ Cool and slice: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
