• 0.5 cups chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth 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 before slicing.
