Ingredients

Dry

1 cup shredded apples
1.5 cups white whole wheat flour
½ cup light brown sugar or coconut sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda

Wet

2 large eggs
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons melted coconut oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium size bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients until they are combined. Set aside.
In a seperate bowl, mix all of the wet ingredients together (except for the coconut oil).
Slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until smooth. Finally, fold the melted coconut oil into the batter.
Transfer batter into bread pan and top with oats or nuts (we used oats). Bake for 40 minutes and then cover the bread with tin foil. Place the bread back into the oven and bake for another 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

Don’t over mix: When in doubt, do NOT over-mix the batter. If you do so, you risk over-whipping the eggs, which will leave you with a flat loaf.
This is probably our #1 tip for preventing a bread flop. I’m speaking from experience here when I say let the bread cool completely before slicing! The bread continues to bake as it cools and if you cut it too soon it may fall apart or seem uncooked.
Use a toothpick to test doneness: There is nothing worse than over or under-cooking your pumpkin bread. So? Make sure to use a toothpick to test the doneness before removing it from the oven. Stick your toothpick in the middle of the bread and press it halfway down. If it comes out clean, you know it’s done!
