Apple Bread

Serves 12

1 tsp. ground flax seed

2 tbsp. water

2.1 oz. (60g) all-purpose flour

4.2 oz. (120g) whole-wheat flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

¼ tsp. salt

4.2 oz. (120g) unsweetened applesauce

3 tbsp. olive oil

3.5 oz. (100g) coconut sugar

2.1 oz. (60g) walnuts, roughly chopped

What you need to do

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8” (20cm) loaf pan and set aside.

In a medium bowl, add the ground flax seed to the water and mix together until combined. Set aside for 5 minutes.

Place the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a separate large bowl and stir to combine.

To the flax seed bowl, add in the applesauce, olive oil, almond milk, coconut sugar and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined, then add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Add in the apples and walnuts and gently mix together with a spoon or spatula.

Place the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Lightly cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil, then bake for a further 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove the tin from the oven and allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently remove and set aside on a wire rack to cool before slicing and serving.
