ingredients

For the loaf

1 large red apple, grated (roughly 1 packed cup)

3/4 c plant milk

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

2 cup organic flour

3/4 cup coconut sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 tsp cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt

1/3 cup olive oil

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the crumble

1/4 cup pecans, chopped

1/2 cup oats

2 Tbsp maple syrup

2 Tbsp almond butter

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

a pinch of salt

For the Cinnamon Icing

1/3 cup organic powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1-2 tsp plant milk

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Grate the apple and set aside.

3. To make the loaf, place the plant milk and apple cider vinegar in a bowl to become “buttermilk” and set aside. Then add all the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk. Then add the remaining ingredients (including the grated apple and vinegar milk mix). Whisk until combined, the batter should be thick.

5. Pour into your lined loaf pan then mix together the crumble ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle over the top of the loaf, pressing gently into the batter.

6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, check with a toothpick that it comes out clean. Mix the cinnamon icing until smooth and drizzle overtop the loaf after it’s baked. Let cool, slice and enjoy!
