Dinner was a hit thanks to my daughter, and I just had to ask her for the recipe.

This low carb applesauce bread is a delightful twist on a classic favorite, perfect for those who are watching their carb intake but still crave a comforting slice of homemade bread. Growing up in the Midwest, applesauce was a staple in our pantry, and this recipe brings back those cozy memories while keeping it light and healthy. It’s a wonderful treat to enjoy with your morning coffee or as an afternoon snack, and it’s sure to be a hit with family and friends.
This applesauce bread pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a smear of cream cheese for a touch of indulgence. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside a warm bowl of soup or a fresh green salad. It’s also lovely with a side of mixed berries or a handful of nuts for a balanced snack.
Low Carb Applesauce Bread
Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 large eggs
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Variations & Tips
For a nutty twist, fold in 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans into the batter. If you have picky eaters, consider adding a handful of sugar-free chocolate chips for a bit of sweetness. You can also experiment with spices like nutmeg or ginger for a different flavor profile. For those who prefer a dairy-free option, substitute the coconut oil with olive oil or another plant-based oil of your choice.
