Ingredients
- 2 cups apple sauce
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper, ensuring the paper overhangs on the sides for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, honey, and cinnamon until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the coconut flour, baking soda, and salt to remove any lumps.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring carefully until a uniform batter forms. The mixture will be slightly thicker than traditional bread batter due to the coconut flour.
- Allow the batter to rest for 3-5 minutes to let the coconut flour absorb moisture, which helps prevent a dry texture.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper to lift the bread out and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Choose Quality Applesauce: For the best flavor, opt for unsweetened applesauce made from high-quality apples. You can even make your own by blending cooked apples for a fresh taste.
- Egg Temperature Matters: Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before mixing them into the batter. This helps create a smoother mixture and improves the texture of the bread.
- Don’t Rush the Resting Time: Allowing the batter to rest for 3-5 minutes after mixing is crucial. This step lets the coconut flour absorb moisture, resulting in a moist and tender loaf.
- Check for Doneness: Since ovens can vary, keep an eye on your bread as it bakes. Insert a toothpick into the center around the 45-minute mark; it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Storage Tips: To keep your bread fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze individual pieces for a quick snack anytime!
