applesauce cinnamon streusel bread

How would you like this sugary cinnamon goodness to be all up in your face like that right now?

If you say anything less than 150% YES…I don’t think we can be friends. Because I want to live in that streusel.

Feel free to tweak the add-ins in this recipe! Chunky applesauce would be delicious, or even chopped up apples. Nuts instead of raisins? Or if you’re me…throw in a hefty handful (or two…or three) of chocolate chips :)

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cinnamon Streusel Topping
1/4 cup oats
1 tbs brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbs butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a large loaf pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, applesauce, brown sugar, milk, and vegetable oil.

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients, blending just until combined.

Bake 55-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

If you’ve ever wanted to taste fall…this is it.
