Ingredients:
- 1 cup apple cider (240g)
- 3/4 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt (190g)
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (156g)
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch (16g)
- 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoon butter (melted) (28g)
- 2 large eggs (100g)
- ¼ cup maple syrup (59g)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper.
- Add the apple cider to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for about 8 minutes, or until the cider has reduced to 1/2 cup. You can skip this step if you want and just use 1/2 cup of apple cider, but the apple taste won’t be as strong.
- Pour the apple cider into a large glass measuring cup or small mixing bowl with a spout and set aside to slightly cool. Stir in the Greek yogurt and vanilla extract once the apple cider is not steaming hot.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer, beat the melted butter, eggs, and maple syrup. Then add the apple cider and Greek yogurt mixture.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Don’t over mix!
- Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the pan cool for 20 minutes, then remove the loaf from the pan.
- For an optional donut coating, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar! Macros not included.
