Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or a light coating of oil.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the Kodiak Cakes mix, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir with a whisk until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Then add the applesauce, grated apples, and vanilla extract. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Fold gently until just mixed. Do not over-mix to maintain that lovely fluffy texture.
- Pour into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Top Tips for Perfecting Apple Cinnamon Kodiak Cakes Bread
- Substitutions: If you don’t have applesauce, replace it with Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost. You could also use almond or oat milk for an equally fluffy result.
- Avoiding Mistakes: Over-mixing can lead to a dense texture, so fold gently until the ingredients are combined. Also, make sure your baking powder isn’t expired for the best rise.
- Timing: Keep a close eye on the loaf as it bakes because ovens can vary. Check it a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
