Healthy Treat for Today: Applesauce Bread
By Laura on Mar 5, 2008 in Natural Sugar Treats, Recipes
Wanna know the biggest problem I had with my Applesauce Bread this morning?!
I only made one loaf!
What was I thinking?!
We downed the whole loaf very quickly…
And then…”Mom, did you make anymore?”…say all the boys as they peek around in hope at all the countertops and at the oven.
So, be warned…you might want to double this recipe if you’re going to wake your family up some morning to the delicious smell of this bread baking.
And, it is a great way to wake your family…I promise!
Applesauce Bread:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup rapadura or 1/2 cup honey
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. baking soda
1/4 t. sea salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
3/4 cup applesauce
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
Mix dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add applesauce, eggs and butter. Stir well. Pour into a buttered bread pan or stone. Bake for 45-55 minutes at 350 degrees, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
Check out these cutie boys eating their Aplesauce Bread this morning…with butter melted on it…with a glass of milk…
See, Malachi has his green cell phone handy right there…ready to call someone to let them know what a great breakfast he’s having. 
(Good thing he has roll-over minutes…)
Thank you for posting this recipe. It sounds yummy; can’t wait to try it.

Just came across this recipe. We are allergic to eggs, do you think we could make it without? I have an egg replacer powder. Just wonder what you think. Thanks so much.

I’ve made this a few times now, and I just wanted to thank you for sharing this recipe! Our family loves it and I love that I don’t have to feel guilty while eating it (unless I eat a whole loaf by myself… then I feel a liiiiiiittle guilty. Just a little. LOL!)

This is such a wonderful recipe! I have made it once using applesauce and once using mashed bananas (which would make it banana bread instead of applesauce bread, really). Both times it has been sooooo goooood. In fact, I like this banana bread recipe more than any other that I can recall. The texture is perfect. Thank you!
