Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cardamom
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs, large
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 medium apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to blend the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the wet ingredients and whisk until incorporated. Then add the unsweetened applesauce, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula. Stir only until just combined—do not overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold the diced apple into the batter until distributed evenly.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use the spatula to smooth out the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve. Enjoy your Chai Spiced Apple Oatmeal Bread as is or with a smear of butter!
