Step 1

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

Add the eggs one at a time to the applesauce mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition.

Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until evenly mixed.

Step 6

Mix in the plain Greek yogurt until the mixture is smooth.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.

Step 9

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