So I have noticed a recipe for 500 calorie Pumpkin Bread circulating on Pinterest - unfortunately after making it for my Dad I calculated the calories and found there were actually about 900 calories per loaf (ouch!) So I modified the recipe to lower the calories - I will post the modified recipe for the pumpkin bread later, but here is another version of the recipe, using apples instead of pumpkin!
This bread is very moist, almost like a bread pudding, but it holds its shape well enough to eat it like a brownie too!
Recipe:
1 Honeycrisp Apple, peeled and cut into small chunks
2 tablespoons cinnamon
3/4 Cup Stevia
1 cup Oat Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1- 1/2 cups Unsweetened Apple Sauce
1 egg plus 3 egg whites
1. Grease 2 loaf pans and preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together all ingredients except your cut apple, stevia and cinnamon
3. Coat the apple chunks in about 1/4 cup stevia and 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
4. Add the excess cinnamon and Stevia to the batter, then add your coated apple chunks
5. Pour about half of the batter into each loaf pan and bake for about 40 minutes
Let the apple bread cool in the pans, or eat it right away for more of a bread pudding experience.
Each loaf has about 400 calories depending on the size of your apple and what type of apple sauce you use.
The Stevia can give this bread a little bit of a weird after-taste so my Dad likes to put soy whipped cream on top of his dessert!(We love soy whip because it is dairy/lactose free and has less calories than Cool Whip or regular whipped cream)
