Total Time1 hour 35 minutes
Servings: 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 250 g plain/all-purpose flour
  • 90 g quick oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 large eggs
  • 150 g caster or granulated sugar
  • 240 g plain Greek-style yogurt
  • 120 ml vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 medium apples peeled, cored, and chopped into small chunks

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/350°F/Gas 4. Grease and line a 23 × 13cm (9 × 5-inch) loaf tin with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, quick oats, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Set aside.
  • In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and lighter in colour.
  • Add the yogurt, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients in thirds, gently mixing after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Gently fold in the chopped apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and spread it out evenly.
  • Bake for approximately 1 hour 5 minutes, checking from 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  • Leave to cool completely in the tin on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

Apples: Granny Smith, Braeburn, Golden Delicious, or Gala apples all work well. You can also leave the skins on if preferred.
Oats: Quick oats work best, but rolled/old-fashioned oats can also be used.
Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing: This bread freezes well for up to 3 months. Wrap the whole loaf or individual slices tightly and place in a freezer-safe container or bag. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
