Macro Friendly Applesauce Streusel Bread
I was feeling like I needed a comforting classic and this Applesauce Streusel Bread really hit the spot for me! Made with plain greek yogurt, egg whites, collagen and nonfat milk powder to bump up the protein without making it gummy or dry, I think you will LOVE this recipe. It's a great snack or treat.
Ingredients
For the Bread-
- 6 tablespoons truvia
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 5 tablespoons vegetable oil or canola oil
- 3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 2 large egg whites or 6 tablespoons liquid egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup plain, nonfat greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup nonfat milk powder
- 1/4 cup collagen peptides 2 scoops if using vital proteins
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Streusel Topping-
- 1 tablespoon salted butter melted
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside. (I used a 8.5 x 4.5 x 2.75 inch loaf pan, but any pan you have is fine! If it's larger, the baking time will be less, if it's smaller, the baking time will be more.)
- In a large bowl, stir truvia, sugar, oil, applesauce, egg whites, vanilla and yogurt together. Add in remaining dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated. Scrape the sides of the bowl to ensure batter is well mixed. Pour into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
- In a small bowl, stir melted butter together with brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon to create a crumbly topping. Sprinkle evenly over the batter and bake 45-55 minutes. (Mine was done right at 50 minutes.)
- Remove from oven, cool at least 15 minutes before removing from pan and cooling completely (or mostly cool). Slice into 12 even slices and enjoy. Store remaining applesauce streusel bread in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Makes great french toast!
