Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup applesauce
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups raisins
- 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
