I'm not much of a bread maker for the most part.  I really don't enjoy kneading dough or waiting for it to rise so that's why I was so excited when I came across a recipe for some delicious little Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins from Cathlin Cooks that I thought might make a good bread... without the kneading or rising! 

Yep, this is my kind of bread!  It turned out so moist and delicious.  It was a little heavier and crumblier than I thought it would be but I'm sure it was because of the oat flour.  It is the first time I have baked with it and it turned out to be really delicious in this recipe!  What a great way to get more oats and coconut oil in your diet... just make yummy Banana Apple Cinnamon Oat Bread! 

The house smelled delicious while this bread was cooking!  I will definitely be making this again soon :) 

Banana Apple Cinnamon Oat Bread Ingredients

(made 6 muffins & 1 mini loaf of bread)

1 1/2 cups organic oat flour

1/2 cups rolled quick oats

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice

1 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons baking soda (see my note at the bottom)

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup rice milk (or regular milk)

1/3 cup coconut oil

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cups diced apples (small pieces) (skins removed)

1 large ripe banana, mashed

Directions

Pre-heat your oven to 400° and use butter to grease your muffin tins & bread pans. 

Put your coconut oil into a small bowl and microwave until melted.  Let cool for about 10 minutes before adding to the mixture. 

In a large mixing bowl stir together your oat flour, rolled quick oats, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon & apple pie spice.  Stir together.

In a medium mixing bowl combine your eggs, vanilla, coconut oil & rice milk and beat until mixed together well. 

Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients and mix until well incorporated.  Stir in your apple pieces & mashed banana. 

Spoon batter into your muffin or bread tins and bake at 400° until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

- about 20-25 minutes for the muffins

- about 40-50 minutes for the bread. 

Shauna's Tips

Ok first of all I'm pretty much a dork.  Now that we have that understanding that let me tell you why.  By mistake I put 2 teaspoons of baking soda in the mixture because I was talking with my daughter while I was baking.  Thought I had grabbed the baking powder but oops... it was the baking soda.  With that being said this bread turned out SO delicious so I will actually keep making it the same as I did this time.  Everything about it was delicious. 

This bread is however a bit heavier than your normal bread because of the organic oat flour but it is oh so good!  The flavor of apple, banana and cinnamon are just to die for!  It was a bit crumbly but maybe that's because I put in too much baking soda?  I don't mind crumbles so much, lol!

This bread stayed good wrapped in saran wrap on the counter for 3 days and we ate every last bit of it! 

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
