Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring with a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts gently to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
