Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup sugar
- 0.75 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. Stir until well mixed.
In another bowl, whisk together the nonfat Greek yogurt, unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold the chopped walnuts and chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Turn the bread onto a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the nut bread slices as a healthy snack or breakfast option. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
