Applesauce Oatmeal Bread
barely adapted from King Arthur Flour
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (7 oz) sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (3 1/2 oz) canola oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup (2 oz) white whole wheat flour
- 1 cup (4 1/4 oz) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 3/4 oz) old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup (5 oz) cinnamon applesauce (plain is fine too)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk the sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla together in a large bowl. Add both flours, the baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and salt to a medium bowl then whisk to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in the oats and applesauce until incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a thin knife inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Remove the pan to a wire rack and allow the bread to cool for about 15 minutes, then turn it out of the pan and cool completely on the rack.
