Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup applesauce (homemade or chunky style preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Glaze Ingredients

  • 1 cup powdered sugar (add more if needed to thicken)
  • 1/4 cup applesauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9.25 by 5.25 by 2.75 inch metal nonstick loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder by hand until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, beaten eggs, Greek yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently by hand until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Bake the Bread: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-48 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: While the bread is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and applesauce in a small bowl until smooth and slightly thickened. Add more powdered sugar if needed for consistency.
  7. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread has cooled for about 10-15 minutes, pour the glaze evenly over the top. The glaze will settle into the cracks and keep the bread moist, setting into a slightly sticky finish.

Notes

  • For best texture, use homemade or chunky style applesauce.
  • Do not overmix the batter; a few lumps are fine and help keep the bread light.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a subtle flavor twist.
  • The glaze can be thickened by adding more powdered sugar if it’s too runny.
  • Store bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
