01 -
2 cups all purpose flour
02 -
1 cup old fashioned oats
03 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
04 -
2 teaspoons cinnamon
05 -
2 teaspoons baking powder
06 -
1 cup granulated sugar
07 -
3/4 cup vegetable oil
08 -
2 eggs beaten
09 -
1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
10 -

11 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Glaze
12 -
1 cup powdered sugar
13 -
1/4 cup applesauce
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9.25 × 5.25 × 2.75 inch metal nonstick loaf pan.
02 -
In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder. Set aside.
03 -
In a separate bowl, combine sugar, oil, eggs, yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
04 -
Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients by hand until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
05 -
Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
06 -
While bread is cooling slightly, whisk together powdered sugar and applesauce to create the glaze.
07 -
Pour glaze over the slightly cooled bread, allowing it to settle into cracks. Note that the glaze will set but remain slightly sticky.
# Notes:
01 -
This bread is exceptionally moist with a pronounced apple flavor. The applesauce glaze seeps into the bread, enhancing its moisture and sweetness.
02 -
No mixer required for this recipe - simple hand mixing produces the best texture.
