Servings 8 servings

2 cups whole grain oats, blended to flour consistency
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup date paste - blend 8 pitted medjool dates with 1/2 cup hot water, then measure out 1/2 cup paste
2 flax eggs - 2 tbsp ground flaxseed in a bowl with 6 tbsp water, set in the fridge for 20 minutes
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup nondairy milk
1/2 cup peeled and chopped apple

1/2 cup whole grain oats
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup date paste - 4 medjool dates blended with 1/4 cup hot water, then measure out 1/4 cup paste (or just make 3/4 cup all at the same time, measure out 1/2 cup for the bread batter and 1/4 cup for the topping!)
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup peeled and chopped apple

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix the oat flour and cinnamon.
Add the applesauce, date paste, flax eggs, vanilla extract, and nondairy milk, and stir into a thick batter.
Fold in the chopped apple, and pour the batter into a nonstick or parchment-lined loaf pan.
To make the topping, mix the oats, cinnamon, date paste, vanilla extract, and chopped apple, and sprinkle it evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake the bread for 40 minutes, then let it cool in the pan for 30 minutes before carefully turning it out.
Serve with any toppings/spreads you'd like and enjoy!
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
