LOW-CARB APPLE SPICE QUICK BREAD
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 3/4 cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp oat fiber (not oat flour!)
- 2 tbsp flaxseed meal
- 2 scoops MariGold Unflavored Collagen Peptides
- 1/2 cup monkfruit sweetener
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup finely chopped apples (peeled and cored; a sweet variety like Fuji or Honeycrisp works well)
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, oat fiber, flaxseed meal, collagen powder, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to ensure even distribution.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold the chopped apples into the batter.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
- Cool: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
