Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Wheat bran
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a small amount of olive oil or use non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, and baking soda.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, eggs, low-fat milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender crumb.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
