Ingredients

• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 cup honey
• 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

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 whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the honey, applesauce, milk, egg, and vegetable oil until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can affect the texture of the bread.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Carefully remove the bread from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve as is, or with a spread of butter, jam, or additional honey. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
