Instructions

Lightly grease a standard-size loaf pan and line it with a parchment paper sling.
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 ¼ cups oat flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a large bowl.
Stir the ½ cup whole milk, melted ½ cup unsalted butter, and 2 large eggs into the flour mixture until just combined. Gently fold in the 1 ½ cups diced apples. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and preheat the oven to 350°F. Rest the batter while the oven heats.
Place in the oven and bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center of a loaf comes out clean, 55-60 minutes. Cool in pan for 20 minutes then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Rest the batter – Make sure to let the batter rest in the pan before baking it - the oat flour benefits from a rest so that the flour hydrates and makes the finished loaf taste better! You can rest the batter for 20-30 minutes or if you're short on time just let it rest while the oven preheats.
What type of loaf pan? I am a big fan of using metal loaf pans because they help the contents to cook more evenly. If you can, I recommend using a metal standard-size loaf pan for this blueberry bread. If you need to use a glass loaf pan, lower the temperature to 325℉ and bake it for a little longer.
Make mini loaves. This recipe also works wonderfully in mini loaf pans! The batter will fit in about 2 mini loaf pans and will need slightly less time to bake.
Go dairy-free - Instead of butter, use melted coconut oil to make this apple bread dairy-free.
Make lemon apple bread - Rub the zest of 1 lemon into ¾ cup sugar to release the citrus oils, then add the rest of the ingredients (so, start with the sugar then whisk in the rest of the dry ingredients).
