Ingredients

1 ½ cups white whole wheat flour*
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
2 medium or 1 large apple (~2 cups diced ½")
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
¼ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare a 9x5 bread loaf pan with nonstick spray or parchment paper.
In a large bowl, gently whisk whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add diced apples to flour mixture. Toss until evenly coated.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together brown sugar, buttermilk, eggs, oil, and vanilla.
Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. Using a spatula, fold ingredients just until moistened. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared bread loaf pan. Bake 50-55 minutes or until slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Enjoy!

Notes

*Substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup all purpose flour.

Dice apples into smaller pieces for younger kids or picky eaters.

To prevent dense bread, measure the flour and brown sugar properly, use a whisk to combine the dry ingredients, and follow the muffin method when stirring the batter together.
