Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

½ cup light brown sugar packed
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-natural creamy peanut butter (we used Smnuckers)
2 large Gala apples peeled, grated, and moisture removed (~1.25 cups)
1 medium banana mashed ~1/3 cup or applesauce
2 large eggs
1.5 cups plain, unsweetened almond or oat milk*

Streusel Topping

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tablespoons all-natural creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the streusel topping by mixing all ingredients into a small bowl until a crumble forms. Set aside.
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together brown sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add the peanut butter, grated apples, and banana. Mix again until combined. Add eggs and gently mix until combined. Lastly, add the almond milk until combined.
Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and top with the streusel you made earlier.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the bread from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and then run a knife along the edges of the bread. Gently lift the parchment paper up and transfer the bread to a cooling rack. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

The amount of milk you use may vary depending on different variables; how long you let the batter sit, altitude, how you measure your dry ingredients, etc.
You want to batter thick, but pourable. How long the bread bakes will vary by oven and altitude.
Avocado oil can be replaced with vegetable oil or coconut oil. If you are using coconut oil, be sure it is melted, and add it after mixing the wet and dry ingredients.
