I love an apple bread (or really, any apple baked good, let’s be honest), but peeling and coring apples is a tedious process I don’t love. Enter an applesauce and cinnamon bread. When I saw a version of this recipe on the back of a bran flakes box, I had to give it a try. I have modified it quite a lot to add more wholesome ingredients and cut down on some sugar. Believe me, the final result is equally delicious. The husband even gave it two thumbs up and was excited to eat it for breakfast this week. I always call that a big win!
As an aside, I love adding oats to all of my recipes, but I know that some don’t love them. I even have a friend who is allergic, which I didn’t even know was possible until recently. If you don’t want to add oats, you can certainly modify this simple applesauce and cinnamon bread to have 1 ½ cups of flour and 1 ½ cups bran flakes.
Your Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup bran flakes cereal
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup maple syrup or honey
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup chopped nuts (optional)
Your Steps
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9×5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine egg, applesauce, maple syrup, and milk. Whisk until well combined. Add flour, oats, bran flakes, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just moistened throughout. Fold in chopped nuts if adding.
Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before removing from the pan. Enjoy!
Get those wet ingredients together. Add the dry and mix. All together now! Yum! Texture and flavor. What a delicious bread!
