Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Loaf
A soft, tender loaf bursting with juicy apple pieces and a hint of warming spice, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamo
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups apples, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, slice and enjoy.
Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing. Don't skip the cooling step to prevent a gummy texture. Check for firm apples like Granny Smith for the best flavor.
