Behind the Recipe

I used my Greek yogurt zucchini bread as the starting point for today’s recipe, making a couple changes and additions along the way. We’ll replace shredded zucchini with shredded apple and add some blueberries. You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, or leave them out completely. Another option is to replace the blueberries with chopped nuts, dried berries, or raisins. (Do the raisins! Do the raisins!) I also added a little nutmeg, which is always a good buddy for apple.

To sweeten this bread, I used honey instead of agave. Since apples and blueberries are sweet, I reduced the liquid sweetener down from 1/2 cup to 6 Tablespoons. I love that this quick bread isn’t overly sweet. If you want a little more sweetness, you can use 1/2 cup.

Apples are pretty heavy with moisture. A good thing in baking, but there is such a thing as too much moisture. It can weigh down the bread. To lift it back up, I increased the baking powder to 1 teaspoon. In fact, if you notice your Greek yogurt zucchini bread not rising enough, try making the same change.

3 Baking Tips

• Can I use whole wheat flour? I haven’t personally tried it, but I don’t expect any issue making the switch. Use the same amount of whole wheat flour. The bread may taste a little more dense and hearty as a result. (I actually have a bunch of recipes made with whole wheat flour including whole wheat oatmeal pancakes, whole wheat banana bread, whole wheat dinner rolls, whole wheat pizza crust, morning glory muffins, & whole wheat waffles!)
• Can I use applesauce instead of oil? I don’t recommend it. The bread ends up tasting rubbery without the fat. I always use melted coconut oil, but you can use canola or vegetable oil instead. There’s only 1/3 cup in the whole recipe.
• Can I turn this into muffins? Yes. This bread is delicious as muffins for a quick grab-and-go snack. You can find the full muffin instructions in the recipe note below.

Like its zucchini sister, this apple blueberry bread is an anytime bread! Enjoy it with apple butter, nut butter, or a drizzle of honey for breakfast, a snack, or a light dessert.
