Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix as it can make the loaf dense.

Step 5

If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and/or raisins for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once completely cooled, slice and serve. For freezer storage, wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil, and freeze. To enjoy later, thaw at room temperature or reheat slices in the microwave for a warm treat.
