Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour Spoon into the measuring cup and level off with a knife.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup honey For a sweeter bread, increase the amount slightly.
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and optionally line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: applesauce, honey, oil or melted butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined; avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Baking
  1. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  2. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or freeze for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Consider adding nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor.
