Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (250g) unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 cup (125g) cashew butter (or nut/seed butter of choice)
- 2/3 cup (100g) coconut sugar
- 1 cup (240g) non-dairy milk
- 2 tbsp molasses*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (240g) oat flour
- 1/3 cup (45g) tapioca starch
- 1 tbsp cinnamon (or apple pie spice for a more complex flavor)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Cinnamon Sugar Swirl
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon (or apple pie spice)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Mix together the swirl ingredients. Set aside.
- Whisk together the applesauce, cashew butter, coconut sugar, milk, molasses, and vanilla until no clumps remain.
- Add the oat flour, tapioca starch, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Stir to combine.
- Pour half the batter into a loaf pan that has been well oiled or lined with parchment paper.
- Sprinkle on half of the cinnamon sugar mixture.
- Top with the rest of the batter and then the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes at 350F, or until the center is firm and bounces back when lightly pressed. If it feels squishy at all, bake for an additional 5 minutes or so.
- Remove from the oven and cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. If you slice it when it’s too warm it may be gummy inside.
- Enjoy!
- Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
*You can substitute with other liquid sweeteners (honey, maple syrup, etc.), but it will make the flavor and texture slightly less rich/moist.
