Fancy a nutritious baking recipe with no added sugar and no banana? Then banana bread with oats and apple is a delicious choice! In this article you will discover the perfect recipe idea, tips for variation and a shortcut via our healthy banana bread mix without sugar .
Why banana bread with apple?
Banana bread is a naturally nutritious snack or breakfast. Adding apple gives it a fresh touch and makes it lighter. Think of:
- unsweetened applesauce (apple mousseline) as an alternative to banana
- pieces of apple in the batter for an extra fruity bite (think: apple cake)
- pinch of cinnamon for an extra apple cake experience
This creates a delicious banana bread oatmeal apple - soft in texture, slightly sweetened and ideal for young and old.
How to replace bananas with applesauce
Want something other than banana? Unsweetened apple mousseline is a perfect alternative. Count on about:
- 1 banana = 100 g apple sauce
Applesauce makes the bread softer, fresher and easier to digest. Choose 100% apple mousseline without added sugars . You can also use half banana, half applesauce for a balanced result.
Extra tip: apple cubes for apple bread
Want a real apple touch? Add small cubes of apple to your batter. Choose a firm apple such as Jonagold or Elstar. Season with cinnamon or speculaas spices for an autumnal taste explosion.
