For one of my small group classes a couple weeks ago, this kid brought in some Cinnamon Apple Banana Oat Bread. It was super fancy with oats on top, apple slices around the plate, and cinnamon butter on the side. It was the BEST bread I have ever had. Like seriously... I am currently salivating just thinking about it again. I asked him for the recipe. But he was lameeeeee and said it was a family secret! So I went home that night and searched for the best recipe I could find. I settled on this one...

Cinnamon Apple Banana Oat Bread
Makes 1 loaf.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (I don't have applesauce so I added 1.5 bananas instead)
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/3 cup quick oats, plus more for sprinkling on top
2 large eggs
1/2 apple, grated (I actually just diced the apple because I like the fruit chunks!)
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour, white or traditional
1-1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup raisins (I dislike raisins in desserts so I just didn't put this in)
cinnamon sugar mixture (this is just 1/8 cup sugar with 1/4 tbsp cinnamon)
Preparation
1. Place the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 350° F
2. In bowl of the stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the applesauce, cinnamon, and quick oats. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well each time, then mix in the grated apple.
3. In the medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unbleached all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and baking soda. Take the mixing bowl off the stand and fold in the flour mixture just until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Add the raisins, folding gently. Pour batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle some cinnamon sugar and more quick oats on top.

This was so fantastic. No, it was not as good as the kid's from class, but still sooooo delicious! I put out the whole loaf for game night and it was gone within the first two hours! I will definitely make this again soon so I can eat it all for myself ;)
