Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoon ground flaxseed meal
  • 5 tablespoon warm water
  • 2 cups granny smith apples, peeled and diced (2-3 apples)
  • 2 ⅓ cups all purpose flour (300 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 pinches nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar (200 grams)
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar (54 grams)
  • ⅓ cup grapeseed or vegetable oil
  • ¾ cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Make flaxseed eggs by mixing the 2 tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal with the 5 tablespoon of warm water in a small bowl. Then set the mixture in the fridge for 7-10 minutes to firm up and turn into a gel like consistency.
  • Prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it, dusting with flour, and then lining with parchment paper. The parchment paper is worth the extra step to ensure your bread doesn’t stick to the bottom.
  • Peel, core, and dice the apples. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl sift together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Now in a large bowl beat the oil, flax eggs, sugar, and brown sugar with a whisk until well combined.
  • Next, add the vanilla, apple cider vinegar, and almond milk to the flax egg, oil and sugar mixture. Again beat to combine.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture a little at a time folding it in to combine well, but being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
  • Once the flour is mixed in well, fold in the diced apples.
  • Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees farenheit for 55 to 65 minutes until firm and golden brown. A cake tester should come out clean when the apple bread is done.
  • Allow the bread to cool on a cooling rack in the pan for 20 minutes. Then turn out from the loaf pan and continue to cool in the cooling rack. Make sure the loaf is cooled off enough before you do this or it can fall apart.
    Slice to eat and enjoy!
