Vegan Apple Bread
Description
This Vegan Apple Bread combines ground flaxseed mixed with water as a vegan egg substitute with a mixture of whole wheat pastry and all-purpose flour, applesauce, and chopped apples. The batter is seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, and warm spices, giving a cozy autumnal flavor. The crumb topping of pecans, cinnamon, and coconut sugar adds crunch and texture contrast on top of the soft loaf.
The bread is baked in a parchment-lined or greased loaf pan at 350°F until a tester comes out clean. Once cooled, a simple glaze of powdered sugar and non-dairy milk is drizzled over the loaf for added sweetness and a light finish. This bread makes a flavorful snack or breakfast option, especially for those following a vegan diet or looking to include fruit and whole grains.
The recipe offers substitutions including using regular eggs instead of the flaxseed if not vegan, swapping flours, or replacing pecans with other nuts or oats to accommodate allergies. Using a gluten-free flour blend is possible, though the texture and rise may differ slightly.
