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.
Each time I enjoy a slice of this bread, I’m truly amazed how tender and tasty it is given how healthy it is. It more than satisfies my bread cravings.

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.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the loaf starts to brown more on top before the center is done, tint it with foil until baked all the way through.
- Let loaf cool completely in loaf pan (I don’t recommend transferring to a wire rack to cool).
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.

Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Hi Vanessa! It stores great in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to a week, and in the freezer for up to a month. Hope this helps! Enjoy!
This looks so good! What a great fall treat to make for friends!
I had made banana bread in a turbo convection this earlier morning. The recommended temperature was 350 degrees and time between 1 and 1 hour 20 minutes. I lowered the temperature to 325 degrees. I decided to follow the same directions for the apple bread. In both cases after one hour I removed it from the oven, let it cool, removed it from the tray , turned it upside down and put it back for another 20 minutes as the bottom was a little bit soft. It’s a little extra work and it turned out great. Thank you so much for the recipe!
Can you freeze this bread? Have a lot of apples and trying to find recipes to keep them long term.
Hi Stephanie! Yes, it freezes great. Just be sure to let it cool completely and then wrap it in plastic wrap before putting it in a freezer-safe bag or container to store it in the freezer. When you’re ready to defrost it, just unwrap it and let it defrost at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Love a flourless recipe and this one was delicious. My 2 year old and 3.5 year old both gobbled down two slices each and still wanted more! Had to add a little oat milk to get things moving – might not have been a high powered enough blender but it still turned out great. Thanks for this recipe – will definitely make it again.
I am getting ready to make this. I need to abstain from flour. I am wondering about your other recipes. They sound so good but I CANNOT Eat bananas. Any suggestions on a way to substitute for the bananas.
Thanks. Linda
Hi Linda! You could make flourless pumpkin bread or zucchini bread or definitely this apple bread. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
Can you freeze this? Thanks
Hi Rachel! Yes, it freezes great. Just be sure to let it cool completely and then wrap it in plastic wrap before putting it in a freezer-safe bag or container to store it in the freezer. When you’re ready to defrost it, just unwrap it and let it defrost at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
This looks great! Would it be possible to substitute the oats for oat flour? And if so, how much oat flour? Thanks!
Hi Margaret! You would need 1 and 1/2 cups oat flour to substitute the 2 cups of oats called for in the recipe. I would not recommend blending the oat flour with the other ingredients since they’re already ground. Just blend the other ingredients and then stir in the oat flour. Enjoy!
Hi. I just saw this recipe and I’m anxious to try it.
Is this bread freezable?
Thanks
Hi Maxine! Yes, it can definitely be frozen. Just let is cool completely and then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before putting in a freezer-safe and sealed baggie or container. Enjoy!
HI, How would you suggest substituting the eggs in this recipe? I am keeping up my run to a year fully vegan. Thanks for the assist.
Hi Holly! You could substitute each egg with 1/4 cup applesauce, 1/4 cup mashed banana or 1/4 cup pumpkin puree. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
