2 cups rolled oats (*)

2 tsp baking powder

½ tsp sea salt

2 tsp ground cinnamon

⅔ cup unsweetened applesauce (**)

2 large eggs

4 Tbsp avocado oil

3 Tbsp pure maple syrup (***)

1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract (optional)

1 large Granny Smith apple (peeled and chopped (about 1.5 cups))

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9” x 5” loaf pan with parchment paper. If you don't have parchment paper on hand, you can lightly oil with loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. Peel and core the apple and chop it into small chunks. If you'd prefer, you can use a box grater to make shredded apples rather than apple chunks.

3. Transfer the oats to a high powered blender and blend for 30 seconds or until a flour forms. Add the baking powder, sea salt, and ground cinnamon to the blender and blend for a few seconds until all of the dry ingredients are combined (Note: you can also stir the remaining dry ingredients into the flour). Set aside until ready to use.

4. Transfer the applesauce, eggs, avocado oil, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl and mix well until the wet ingredients are combined.

5. Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir well until a thick batter forms. Stir in the chopped apples until they are well-distributed throughout the batter.

6. Pour the apple bread batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. If you’d like to sprinkle more oats on top of the batter for looks, feel free to do so.

7. Cover the loaf pan with aluminum foil and bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 to 30 minutes, or until the bread tests clean and the top is slightly golden brown. Quick breads are fully baked once they reach an internal temperature of 190 to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. You can insert a digital thermometer into the center of the bread to verify the internal temperature for doneness for the best results.

8. Allow the bread to cool to room temperature before slicing into individual slices and serving.

9. Can use almond or GF flour instead of oatmeal. Can add brown sugar to add sweetness or 2 mashed bananas
