Ingredients
For The Quick Bread
- 1 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted
- 3/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Walnuts chopped
- 1/2 cup Rolled Oats
Frosting
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Applesauce
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Continue mixing until well combined.
- Mix in the Applesauce. Add the applesauce to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
- Add Optional Mix-Ins. If you’re using nuts or dried fruit, gently fold them into the batter.
- Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slater an additional 1/4 of applesauce on top as a frosting if desired. Slice and enjoy!
