Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.33 cup vegetable oil
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans to add a bit of texture and nuttiness.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve. This loaf is delicious on its own or spread with a bit of butter for extra indulgence!
