A delightful and moist loaf combining the flavors of apple and cinnamon, perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Use parchment paper for easy removal of the loaf after baking.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar substitute until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Mix in the applesauce and cinnamon until well combined.
Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even mixing.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Crack the eggs into a separate bowl to avoid shell fragments.
Stir in the baking soda and flour until just combined.
Do not overmix to keep the loaf tender.
Fold in the oats gently.
Reserve a small amount of oats for sprinkling on top if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at 50 minutes to prevent overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the loaf fully ensures easier slicing and better texture.
