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
  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 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

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9.25 by 5.25 by 2.75 inch nonstick metal loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, old fashioned oats, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly and set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, beaten eggs, Greek yogurt, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir by hand just until everything is combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  5. Bake the Bread: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 45 to 48 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Prepare the Glaze: While the bread is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup applesauce in a small bowl to create a smooth glaze. Adjust powdered sugar as needed to reach desired consistency.
  7. Glaze the Bread: Once the bread has cooled slightly but is still warm, pour the glaze evenly over the top. The glaze will seep into the cracks and keep the bread moist while setting with a slightly sticky finish.

Notes

  • Use chunky or homemade applesauce for added texture and flavor.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter to keep the bread tender and moist.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more powdered sugar if too thin.
  • Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This bread freezes well; thaw thoroughly before glazing.
