Apples are a great way to make dessert and snack time a little healthier. If you’ve tried my Apple Nachos, you’re going to love this Flourless Fresh Apple Bread. This quick bread is flour-free, dairy-free, nut-free and absolutely incredible! With the sweetness of honey, there’s no added white or brown sugar or artificial sweetener. Just fresh apples, oats, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda and cinnamon.

Watch Me Make Flourless Fresh Apple Bread

Join me in the kitchen as I bake up this healthy flourless apple bread!

Amazing Apple Flavor in Every Bite

Make this delicious bread from staples you have in your pantry. With amazing apple flavor in every bite, there’s no added salt, specialty gluten-free flours or coconut oil in it, either. Of course, if you want to make truly a gluten-free apple bread recipe, be sure to use gluten-free oats.

This recipe will have you stocking up on apples and baking a loaf every chance you get. Full of healthy fiber (yay whole grains!), it’s healthy, delicious, and super easy to make. If you’re looking for something a little more decadent, my Baked Apple Fritters are always a hit. And these Apple Nachos are the perfect way to enjoy a sweet apple treat that’s so easy and so delicious.

Blender is Better

Just like my other flourless bread recipes, the batter for this bread is mixed in the blender (this is a no-stir recipe, friends). The blender is a must because the oats need to be well blended with all of the other wet and dry ingredients to get that great texture once the  bread bakes. 

Once baked, you’ll have a moist, tender loaf of apple bread that’s perfectly sweetened from the apple and honey and spiced just right from the cinnamon. The flavor and texture is so comforting and leaves you feeling great!

A big slice of this fresh apple bread with a spread of peanut butter and drizzle of honey is one of my favorite ways to start the day. It fills me up and gives me the energy I need to get the kids to school, workout and tackle my morning to-do list. And, let’s be honest, it tastes like dessert!

It’s also one of our favorite afternoon snacks that keeps us satisfied until dinner.

What Do I Need to Make Flourless Fresh Apple Bread?

• Apples (about 1.25 pounds)
• Honey
• Old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
• Large eggs
• Vanilla extract
• Baking soda
• Ground cinnamon

How to Make Healthy Flourless Fresh Apple Bread

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
• Core and slice the apples. No need to peel unless you want or need to. Add the apple chunks to the blender. Feel free to use your favorite apple. I love using Honeycrisp, Braeburn or Granny Smith.
• Add the rest of ingredients to a powerful blender and blend until smooth and well combined. Important: Try not to over-blend the batter as this will cause the oats to warm and start cooking into oatmeal which will hinder the loaf from baking with a bread-like texture.
• Pour the mixture into prepared loaf pan.

How to Store Fresh Apple Bread

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

To freeze bread, first let it cool completely. Then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and put it into a freezer-safe baggie before storing in the freezer. Wrap the bread as airtight as possible. When stored properly in the freezer, bread will maintain great quality for 2-3 months.

To thaw, let it sit, loosely covered, on the counter for several hours.
