Autumn Apple Flax Bread

October 25, 2010 by Hillary 11 Comments

I think it’s rather funny that after reading all of your cooking “whoops” [which were hilarious, by the way], I sort of had one of my own. The rainy weekend was ideal baking weather, and I’ve had this recipe bookmarked for a while, so on Saturday I turned on my oven and pulled out my spatula and yellow polka-dotted bowl. Oh yeah… but how was I to make quick bread without a loaf pan!? I know… how does one not have a loaf pan? It is a definite kitchen staple. I was determined to have this bread made, so I made the trek to TJ Maxx in the wet weather.

There I found a ceramic [no nonstick for me] loaf pan in the back of the bottom pots ‘n’ pans shelf… and it was pumpkin orange to boot! I’ll take it :)

Autumn Apple Flax Bread

  • 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
  • 3 T ground flaxseed
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. canola oil
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla
  • 1/4 c. unsweetened soy milk
  • 1 1/2 c. apples [~2 medium], diced
  • 1/2 c. pecans, toasted + chopped
  • raw sugar

In medium bowl, combine flour, flax, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir to combine.
In another bowl, combine oil and sugar. Add the egg + yolk and mix thoroughly. Then add the milk + vanilla.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, a little at a time, just until combined.
Fold in apples + pecans.
Scrape batter into a greased loaf pan [batter will be quite thick] and spread evenly.
Sprinkle top with raw sugar.
Bake @ 325* for approximately 50 minutes, ‘til a ‘cake’ taster inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before serving with a hot, spicy chai latte.

I have been enjoying my moist loaf of apple flax bread, as it’s very nice to slice up in the morning for breakfasts on the run. Unfortunately, it isn’t the best baked good that I’ve created in my kitchen. If I made it again, here’s what I would do differently:

1. Use all-purpose flour [100% whole wheat was very “wheaty”]

2. Ditch the eggs + turn the ground flax into flax eggs [1 T flax + 3 T water = 1 flax egg]

3. Grate the apples, rather than chop

*I added the 1/4 c. soy milk because the batter was very stiff. I think grating the apples would create a moister batter, eliminating the need for this.

Do you have a favorite quick bread recipe that I should make in my new loaf pan?

    I’m digging the loaf pan! Very appropriate for this season. I love making banana bread because it’s hard to go wrong with it. It always comes out moist. Try it out!

    That bread looks delicious! I am actually not really a bread maker by any means, but I am looking to start. I attended a technique class at William Sonoma last weekend about bread-making (quick breads and regular ones), so I am hoping to put those skills to use.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
