This week’s TWD recipe is Oatmeal Breakfast Bread and was chosen by Natalie of Oven Love. I actually made this recipe into muffins, as I had limited time and as loaves take a while to bake, I thought I would shortcut the time by making muffins.
This recipe is a relatively “healthy” one. It has comparatively little fat in it, moistness and flavour being created with apple sauce. I didn’t take a special trip to buy apple sauce (it’s not such a common ingredient in NZ as it seems to be in the States), but of course I do have loads of cans of baby apples in my pantry at the moment (I buy canned fruit for Harry, but cook my own everything else), so I used baby apples for the apple sauce component of the recipe. The recipe made twelve muffins – lovely muffins, full of oats, a touch of spice with a lovely walnut cinnamon crumble on top.
I would definitely recommend these as a very quick and easy to make, but delicious muffin. I am sure the loaf version would be delicious as well. See if the other TWDers agree here.

I agree - these were delicious, and yours look great. It is easy enough to buy apple sauce here, but it is not something that I often buy.
Thanks for baking with me, Tammy! I did muffins, too- yours look so yummy!
I had thought about trying muffins and I think I would have liked them better, after seeing yours.
Delicious-looking muffins! Great idea to substitute baby apples. I wonder how baby sweet potato puree would work?
love the pic with 1 muffin missing -0 action shot! lol
Love the muffins and your ingenuity for substituting ingredients. I have been known to use pureed plums/prunes from the baby food section in some of my quick breads.
Your muffins look lovely! Good idea to use baby food for the applesauce.
baby apples-- too funny! i bet it's the same thing anyway. this recipe was a great one, i thought.
Way to go to make your own sauce with the baby apples. We take apple sauce for granted don't think of countries not having it. Good save.
Muffins look wonderful.
