Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup applesauce, unsweetened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup apple, peeled and finely chopped (about 1 medium apple)
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and applesauce. Whisk until smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the wet mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped apple and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your Apple Chocolate Quick Bread!
