The first step in creating your Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Loaf is to whisk together the dry ingredients. This crucial process not only ensures that the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and flour are evenly distributed but also aerates the flour, which contributes to a lighter texture in the final loaf. To do this, place your all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl, add the baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk or a fork to mix these ingredients thoroughly, ensuring there are no lumps. A well-mixed dry mixture will help your loaf rise evenly and yield a soft, fluffy texture that is absolutely delightful.

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg (optional)

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

½ cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set aside.

    Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.

      Combine wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly drizzle in the oil and whisk until fully incorporated.

        Combine wet and dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Fold in the apple: Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the batter.

            Pour into loaf pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

              Bake: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden-brown.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Slice and serve: Slice the Apple Cinnamon Yogurt Loaf and enjoy it fresh or toasted, perhaps with a smear of butter or a dollop of yogurt on top.
