My mom made apple sauce bread for me for breakfast when I went to go visit her in Durham a few weeks ago.

I liked it so much that I asked her to send me the recipe!

I made a loaf last week to bring on our road trip, and we (several of us, ha) ate it all – it was nice to have a healthy snack with us on the road and in the hotel/s.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup apple sauce
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt
• 1/3 cup canola oil
• 1 1/2 cup oats
• 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tbsp chopped almonds

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Mix wet ingredients together in a bowl, then add oats. Stir in remaining ingredients until mixed.

Top with chopped almonds and sprinkle with additional cinnamon.

Bake in a greased loaf pan (over a cookie sheet in case of drips) for about 50-55 minutes.
