In this post: Easy Applesauce Bread Recipe. A hearty and moist quick bread that everyone in the family will love. Goes together quickly and freezes well.
I thought I would take a break from porch fluffing and share a delicious quick bread recipe. This Easy Applesauce Bread is so moist it melts in your mouth. It’s sweet…but not too sweet. There are no chunks, nuts or other things that kids might not like, so it’s the perfect family-friendly snack or dessert. I made four small loaves, but this batter would also make great muffins. Mini muffins would make an easy breakfast on the go. I love that this bread rises in the middle and cracks on the top, which makes a fluffier, lighter bread.
Easy Applesauce Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cup canola or coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sour cream or plain nonfat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1 cup applesauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together sugar, oil, eggs, sour cream and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl whisk together flour, oats, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
- Add flour mixture to sugar mixture. Make sure to combine well and scrape sides of bowl.
- Stir in applesauce.
- Pour into prepared small bread pans.
- Bake 30 minutes or until knife inserted in center of loaf comes out clean.
- Cool slightly and then remove from pans.
Notes
I got 4 loaves of bread from this recipe. It could be easily doubled.
Optional glaze: 1 cup powdered sugar with 1/4 cup applesauce. Whisk together and pour over slightly cooled loaves while they are still in the pans.
I prepare my baking pans with Baker's Joy.
It feels good to be back in the kitchen, baking bread. In addition to this Easy Applesauce Bread, I’ve already made Zucchini Bread and Pumpkin Bread. Still on the list is Snickerdoodle Bread (my personal favorite.) All of these recipes can be found in my Quick Bread Category archives.

I’m trying to sell my house and the last few homes I have sold baking bread or cookies seem to be a great selling tool

Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 2:50 pmHow long do you think this would this need to bake in a larger regular size loaf pan?
Sandra says

Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 11:10 amBeen seeing your yummy quick bread recipes and now I’m wondering why you’re making all this bread? Do you give it away right away, or are you freezing it to give away during the holidays? Great idea. One of those “I should do that right now, too!” ideas. blessings on your day, kg

Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 11:27 amHi Karen! I always share anything I bake with my parents and they really enjoy it. I do freeze the quick breads and take them out when I need a little something extra to go with dinner. I also send a loaf or two home with my kids when they visit…so I’m really not eating everything myself. :)

Wednesday, September 16, 2015 at 10:17 amAnn, I’m drooling over your bread :) With all my food allergies it’s something I had to give up :( I want to reach through the screen and have a slice of yours.
