Ingredients:

  • 2 cups oat flour (240g)
  • 1/2 cup ground flaxseed meal (65g)
  • 2 tsp baking powder (10g)
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda (3g)
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon (8g)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (3g)
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce (245g)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup (110g)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (15ml)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 3 tbsp water or almond milk (45ml)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until no clumps remain.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula until just combined.
  5. Add water or almond milk one tablespoon at a time until the batter is thick but pourable.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the edges pull slightly away from the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
