Quick Applesauce Bread

Paleo, gluten-free, and lower in fat than traditional baked goods, this allergy-friendly applesauce bread is one recipe you don’t want to miss.

Delicious with coffee or smeared with butter, this bread is the best afternoon snack or quick breakfast you and your kids will love.

What is Applesauce Bread

Moist, fluffy, and full of flavor, applesauce bread is just like any other recipe – except better! Flavored with warm spices, applesauce bread is usually eaten as a sweet breakfast or after-dinner treat.

This recipe is easy, budget-friendly, and made with ingredients you likely already have in your pantry.

However, unlike traditional bread recipes, the applesauce adds tons of flavor and keeps the bread soft and delicious. Plus, you gain all the amazing benefits of apples, such as Potassium and vitamin C.

Basically, what I’m saying is this cinnamon applesauce bread is the ultimate fall breakfast.

How Does Applesauce Affect Baking?

Applesauce is a healthier alternative to many of the saturated fats found in most baking recipes. It can replace any fat source in a baking recipe, except softened butter.

Adding applesauce to recipes will significantly reduce the calorie count. It will also add healthy fiber and nutrients to any baked good, making it the perfect secret weapon to sneak fiber into your kids’ diets.

Baking with applesauce is not ideal if you’re in a time pinch because it will likely create a need for a longer baking time.

What Kind of Applesauce Should You Use for Bread?

Before you begin baking with applesauce, it is important to make sure you have the right kind. Of course, in a perfect world, the best applesauce is one you make at home. Ther’es nothing like freshly made applesauce. However, when reality sets in and you don’t have time to peel, cook, and mash a thousand apples, storebought is just fine.

Any applesauce you can find will work to make applesauce bread, but unsweetened versions are preferred for baking recipes. If you do find yourself stuck with sweetened varieties, be sure to reduce the amount of sugar in your recipe or your breakfast bread might turn into dessert!
