Chickpea Cinnamon Apple Walnut Bread
Fall baking season is here, and nothing says comfort quite like warm apple cinnamon bread fresh out of the oven. But comfort doesn't have to mean unhealthy! This Apple Cinnamon Walnut Bread is made with my Beanie Bites baking mix, which means it’s naturally high in fiber and protein, has no added sugar, and bakes up incredibly moist and soft. Think of it as the wholesome version of classic fall apple bread—delicious, nourishing, and easy enough for busy weekdays.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- No added sugar: naturally sweet from applesauce and apples.
- Protein + fiber-rich: thanks to the sprouted chickpeas and flax in Beanie Bites.
- Perfect fall flavors: cinnamon, apples, and walnuts in every bite.
- Versatile: bake as a loaf, muffins, or waffles! Use the same batter in your waffle maker
Ingredients
- 1 bag Beanie Bites Original Mix
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened applesauce
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk of your choice
- 1 cup chopped or sliced apples (I kept the skin on because I want it all the nutrients! It gives a nice crunch with the skin on)
- ½ cup walnuts (plus 2 tbsp for topping)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Optional to add 1/4 cup maple syrup to give it more sweetness + maple flavor! If you do this, only use 1/3 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease or line a bread pan or muffin tray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared pan or scoop into muffin tins. Sprinkle remaining walnuts on top.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes for a loaf or 20–25 minutes for muffins, until a knife or toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool, slice, and enjoy!
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days.
- Freeze slices or muffins individually for quick grab-and-go snacks.
