Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 0.75 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the applesauce, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter, and stir until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts or pecans until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
