Whole Wheat Cinnamon Apple Bread

Granny smith apples are my favorite, but I am super picky about them. Because I’m so picky, we had some leftover apples in the kitchen that didn’t quite meet my strict specifications. Though I didn’t think they looked good enough to eat plain, I thought they would be perfect to put in a healthy bread recipe. With this in mind I came up with a recipe for semi-whole wheat apple cinnamon bread. Sprinkling the brown sugar on top just adds a perfect sweet touch.

Ingredients:

1 cup whole what flour

¾ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla

½ cup unsalted room temperature butter

1/3 cup agave

¼ plus ¼ cup drown sugar

1 egg

1 cup Greek yogurt

2 large peeled and cored apples, coarsely chopped

Directions:

Preheat Oven to 350°F. Grease a 9.25x5.25x2.75 inch pan and set it aside. In a large bowl, mix together the butter and add the granulated sugar and ¼ cup of the brown sugar. Beat until fluffy and then add the egg and the Greek yogurt. Stir in the dry ingredients (flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon), and fold in the apple chunks.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the last ¼ cup of brown sugar on top.

Bake for 55-65 minutes and cool before slicing.

You could also place the batter into muffin tins, but obviously the cooking tie would be less so insert a toothpick to check. When the inserted toothpick comes out clean, you know that they are ready to take out of the oven.

Didn't wait enough time to slice woops!
That's what happens when you're too eager to eat...
