This week’s blogger secret ingredient is hosted by Erin and Andrea at Care to Eat. It’s apples!
Since I bought a bunch of delicious organic gala apples last night, I thought today would be the perfect time to make my secret ingredient recipe. This is kind of like apple crisp, but in the shape of a bread loaf. It also reminds me of baked oatmeal. Basically, it’s all of my favorite ingredients mixed into a loaf. I like it as a snack, breakfast, or even dessert. It goes very well with yogurt, ice cream, and whipped cream and it’s great for the fall. I hope you all enjoy it!
Apple-Banana-Oat Loaf
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups oats
- 1/4 cup WW flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 apples, chopped into very small pieces
- 2 small bananas, mashed
- 1/4 cup honey (or agave nectar)
- 1 cup milk (I used chocolate almond milk – awesome)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Mix together the dry ingredients. Add in the wet ingredients and mix well.
- Pour the entire mixture into a loaf pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, or longer if you want it crispier.
- Serve with yogurt, ice cream, whipped cream, milk, plain, or with whatever you like!

This looks perfect. I love easy, healthy little recipes like this one. I must make it this week and freeze individual bars! Do you think it freezes well?!
Oh – and what size pan did you use? Just a standard bread loaf one?
Erin – I think it would freeze well… It seems similar to baked oatmeal and I’ve frozen that before. I used a standard bread pan – I think it’s about 10×5 inches or something like that. I didn’t buy it; I took it from my mom when I moved out so I never saw the packaging
That’s so funny. I took my mom’s bread loaf pans when I moved out, too! Thanks for the dimensions.
ooh, I just did something similar, but I like this version better, more oats
The chocolate almond milk surprised me! I never would have thought of that.
