Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9 inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add the oats to a high-powered blender and blend for 30 seconds, or until they form a flour. Transfer the baking powder and sea salt to the blender and blend for a few more seconds until all of the dry ingredients are combined.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, pure maple syrup, avocado oil, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the dried cranberries.
- Transfer the bread batter into the prepared baking dish and cover with a piece of aluminum foil. Tent the foil so that the bread has room to grow. Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, then bake for another 25 to 35 minutes, or until the bread is baked through. Insert a digital thermometer into the center of the bread to check its internal temperature. It is fully baked when it reaches an internal temperature of 190 degrees or higher. Remove the bread from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.
- To slice the bread, pull on the edges of the parchment paper to lift the whole loaf of bread out of the bread pan. Place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it into slices. Do note that the bread will cut better when it is fully cooled and not still warm.
Notes
- *For moister bread, use ⅔ cup of unsweetened applesauce and increase the amount of avocado oil to ⅔ cup.
