Vegan Apple Bread

Vegan Apple Bread is a moist loaf made with a flaxseed egg substitute, whole wheat and all-purpose flours, applesauce, and chopped fresh apple for texture. It is spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and includes a crunchy pecan crumb topping. After baking, the bread is finished with a lightly sweet glaze made from powdered sugar and non-dairy milk that adds a delicate drizzle and subtle sweetness.

  3. Stir together flours, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg in a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Combine applesauce, coconut sugar, coconut oil, milk, flax egg and vanilla in another mixing bowl.
  5. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined.
  6. Gently stir in the apple chunks.
  7. Stir together chopped pecans, coconut sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl to make the topping.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and top with crumb topping.
  9. Place in preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick come out clean.
  10. Let loaf cool on a wire rack before attempting to remove the loaf from the pan.

Notes

  • You can substitute the flax egg for a regular egg if not vegan.
  • Whole wheat pastry flour can be swapped with regular whole wheat flour or replaced with all-purpose flour.
  • For gluten-free baking, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend; texture and rise may vary.
  • Pecans in the crumb topping can be replaced by walnuts, almonds, or oats to avoid nuts.
