Peanut Butter Apple Streusel Bread

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-natural (creamy peanut butter (we used Smnuckers))
• 2 large Gala apples (peeled, grated, and moisture removed (~1.25 cups))
• 1 medium banana mashed (~1/3 cup or applesauce)
• 2 large eggs
• 1.5 cups plain, unsweetened almond ( or oat milk*)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tablespoons old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons all-natural (creamy peanut butter)
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350ºF and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Prepare the streusel topping by mixing all ingredients into a small bowl until a crumble forms. Set aside.

3. 3

   Combine all of the dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Set aside.

4. 4

   In a large bowl, cream together brown sugar, oil, and vanilla. Add the peanut butter, grated apples, and banana. Mix again until combined. Add eggs and gently mix until combined. Lastly, add the almond milk until combined.

5. 5

   Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

6. 6

   Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and top with the streusel you made earlier.

7. 7

   Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove the bread from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and then run a knife along the edges of the bread. Gently lift the parchment paper up and transfer the bread to a cooling rack. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes.
