Oatmeal Applesauce Bread

It’s my new favorite bread! I followed the instructions according to the recipe, I just added two more tablespoons of applesauce. The bread was delicious, next time I will use 1/2 teaspoon of salt instead of one.

Great recipe! Easy to make and turns out prefect every time.. I have made this 3 times and debating whether to make it again or something else. I’m having to much retired fun.

I have made this recipe 3 times now and it turned out tasty and perfect each time….good crust, easy, foolproof!

A big gooey mess. I followed the recipe.

Very good bread that my son wants me to make again. It’s soft and tasty. I didn’t taste the cinnamon in it, but I think that’s okay. We ate it with our pot roast dinner. It is also good toasted. I made the dough in the bread machine, put into a bread pan, let rise another 20 minutes and baked in 350 oven for 30 minutes. I put some melted butter on top as soon as it came out. Perfect.

Delicious bread, but in my 2 lb Zojirushi it was pretty small. I think I’ll dare double the recipe again…or has anyone done it with success? Also, I agree that increasing the cinnamon a bit might make it a bit more flavorful, but it’s great as is. Looking forward to toast…seems like it’ll toast beautifully…if it lasts that long!

This was wonderful! The applesauce and cinnamon just made this total comfort food, both mixing it in the bread machine, baking it, AND eating it with some butter smeared on top! I didn’t have powdered milk, so added about a tbsp. of fat free half and half. I also added about 1/2 cup of raisins which got all crunched up beyond recognition in the final product (but added a little raisin flavor). I will add a few nuts next time. I did not bake it in the bread machine because I don’t like the shape of the loaves, but made the recipe on the dough mode and put it in a greased loaf pan. I let it rise for about 1 hour and then baked at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes until it sounded hollow when tapped.

Very good texture! I added 2 Tbsp. Wheat gluten and 1/2 c. Raisins. It was delicious but I may add more applesauce, more oatmeal, and more sugar next time to achieve a sweeter result. Thanks for the great recipe!

I substitute apple juice for the water and honey for the sugar. Great taste.

This recipe is great but like most reviewers, I tweaked it a little. I doubled down on the butter and cinnamon, halved the sugar, and used unsweetened applesauce. I also subbed the last 1/4 cup of flour with whole wheat. My dough came out a little sticky during the kneading, so I added about 3 tablespoons of extra flour and more than a tablespoon of extra oatmeal as the machine worked it. Right before the bake cycle, I sprinkled a few more oatmeal bits on top. As it rose, the house filled with the most delicious aroma! I wish I’d thought to toss in some nutmeg or allspice, maybe even some cardamom. I will definitely do so next time. And there will be a next time – this recipe makes a wonderful bread!

An excellent sweet bread. I added 1/4 cup raisins and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, and increased the cinnamon to 1.5 Tbsp. It made a small, solid loaf, just sweet enough!

This tastes like what my European boyfriend calls “real bread.” I didn’t use butter at all (since applesauce can be used as a substitute for butter), but the inside had a nice, hearty structure to it. It doesn’t taste or smell much like cinnamon or apples, so it’s great for dipping into soup. The outside of the bread was too hard, but I suspect it has more to do with my bread machine than this recipe, since all of my loaves come out a little overcooked. Will have to try again and shave 5-10 minutes off the baking time at the end. Next time, I’ll experiment with putting chopped apples and walnuts in it, plus allspice and nutmeg (to make it more like apple pie).

I made this and thought it had great texture but didn’t care for the flavor. My hubby didn’t care for it either. I will be finishing my loaf up as morning toast though.

This is a great recipe! I have to admit I haven’t tried it “as is” because I tend to healthify things, but even the healthier version is delicious and I get complimented on it, so I imagine the original would be yummier if anything. I replace the sugar with honey, 1 cup of the flour with whole wheat flour, and the butter with coconut oil, and it turns out fabulously. I do have to add more water than the recipe says (about 3-5 tbsp) but I’m not sure if that’s the recipe or because of our dry environment or the whole wheat flour. I would definitely recommend this recipe!

Thank you for sharing this recipe; the bread turned out perfect with a great flavor.

This is SO good. I didn’t have rolled oats, so I used old fashioned oats instead. Worked fine. I also added a little more cinnamon than the recipe called for because I wanted it to taste “breakfasty” which it did. I assembled it the night before and programmed the bread machine to have it ready when we woke up. Yumm-o. If you do that, be sure to add a little extra water, so it doesn’t dry out over night. Will for sure make again!

Very nice bread. I switched the amounts of applesauce and water so I’d get more of an applesauce taste (and so I could use up some applesauce!). I put in a little moe than 1/4 cup of water, so I increased the flour by 1/4 cup to compensate. This made a pretty small loaf, and I mixed the dough in the bread machine, then took it out, let it rise for 30 mins, and baked at 375 for 40 minutes. It turned out soft inside with a nice chewy crust. It could’ve been the applesauce I used (sugar free strawberry applesauce), but it has a bit of a sour taste that I like. Thanks for the recipe!

Smells great, tastes okay. I made this with one cup of bread flour and 1 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour. I would probably not use as much whole wheat next time so that it’s not so dense and rises faster too.

This bread is awesome – even though it doesn’t taste applesauce-y or oatmeal-y. That part was disappointing. But as a general bread, it’s really quite delicious. We modified it by using 1 cup bread flour, 1.25 c whole wheat flour, (1 tbsp vital wheat gluten) and 1.25 tsp of cinnamon (instead of 1/2 tsp) and instead of white sugar, an organic sugar in the raw. Cooked it on whole wheat setting, medium crust so it came out really light and airy. Next time will try more applesauce, more oats, probably honey instead of sugar.

Awesome bread. I didn’t have milk powder so I just left it out. I also used all purpose flour. It still turned out perfect.

I followed the recipe and put it in my 2lb breadmaker at the “rapid” and “light crust” settings (i.e. 2hrs) and it came out great. Light, smooth, and just subtly sweet. Perfect warm with butter and honey. Could also use for sandwiches.
