Ingredients

2 cups flour of choice * See notes
1 1/3 cups brown sugar or any sugar of choice
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup oil of choice coconut oil, vegetable oil, etc.
1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup water
2/3 cups raisins and walnuts Optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add your flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and baking powder, and mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together your oil, apple cider vinegar, applesauce, and water until combined.
Combine your wet and dry ingredients together. Fold through your raisins/nuts of choice. Transfer to the loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a skewer comes out just clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

* Wholewheat flour is preferred, but white all purpose flour will work too. To make a gluten free applesauce bread, use gluten free flour.
