Sugar-Free Apple & Oat Loaf

  • Prep time: 15 minutes

  • Bake time: 35–45 minutes at 180°C

  • Yield: 1 Loaf

The Method

  1. Prep the Base: Mash the banana until smooth. Grate the 3 apples (you can peel them, but the skin adds great fiber).

  2. Mix Wet & Dry: In a large bowl, whisk the 2 eggs, then stir in the mashed banana, grated apples, and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon.

  3. Incorporate Oats: Fold in the 150g oatmeal and 5g baking powder. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes so the oats can hydrate and soak up the moisture.

  4. Add the Texture: Stir in the raisins and dried cranberries.

  5. Bake: Pour the batter into a loaf tin lined with parchment paper. Top with the 30g chopped almonds for that perfect crunch.

  6. Cool: Bake at 180°C until golden brown. Pro tip: Let it cool completely before slicing (as shown in your photo) to ensure it holds its shape!

Why this works

By using oatmeal instead of flour, you’re getting a much lower glycemic index, and the pectin from the apples helps keep the loaf moist without needing added oils or butter.

Note: If you want to keep it truly 100% sugar-free, just double-check your dried cranberries—many store-bought versions are infused with sugar. You can always swap them for more raisins or chopped dates!
