Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1/4 cup oil (melted coconut, light olive oil, avocado, vegetable, melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk or sour cream
  • 1 cup no-sugar added cinnamon applesauce (see note)
  • 1 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour (see note)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a 9X5-inch loaf pan (line the bottom with parchment - optional, but helps prevent the bottom of the loaf from sticking).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oil and eggs until well combined. Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, buttermilk and applesauce and mix until well-combined.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and stir until combined; a few lumps are ok (don't overmix - treat it like a good muffin batter that gets combined but not obliterated by mixing).
  • Pour the batter into the loaf pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 45-60 minutes (ovens will vary on exact time) until the top springs back lightly to the touch and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  • Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Serve with butter or honey butter (or plain, but that's really no fun).
