- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with a small amount of olive oil or use non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, wheat bran, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, eggs, low-fat milk, olive oil, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a tender crumb.
Step 5
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
Step 6
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
