Plant-Based Apple Bread

IMG_6400 The first time I made this recipe it was a huge success. I had my friends over that night and we finished the whole thing in a few minutes (we were only three) with some ginger tea and bliss balls.

Unfortunately, there's something called beginners luck. The second, third, fourth, fifth, and even sixth time I tried to make this bread I failed. It would either be too mushy, sunk, or too bitter when I used quinoa flour.

After a lot of googling the bread came out a lot better, but not nearly as good as the first time. So I had a friend come help me out. You can find her on Instagram @Chefarwa she is a professional chef and she's a real master when it comes to baking. We baked and made waffles that day and I learned a lot from her that day. The bread turned out perfectly, but we added too much cinnamon because I forgot to tell her that the applesauce is spiced already. Oops. So I made it again and it was 10/10!

Learning from others in person will always beat learning online. I guess you can say that's the most valuable lesson I learned. I know that sounded cheesy as hell, only it's true. She taught me baking skills and I showed her how to make turn things plant-based.
