Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened applesauce (natural or homemade)
1 cup self-rising flour (or make your own – see note)
2 large eggs
Optional (for flavor):
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of nutmeg or allspice
Instructions
Preheat oven:
Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
Mix wet ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs and applesauce until smooth and creamy.
Add flour:
Stir in the self-rising flour (and optional cinnamon/vanilla) until just combined. Do not overmix — the batter should be slightly thick.
Pour and bake:
Transfer the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake:
Place in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool completely:
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool fully before slicing.
Air Fryer Method
Temperature: 320°F (160°C)
Time: 25–28 minutes
Use a small loaf pan or silicone mold that fits your air fryer basket.
Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center — it should come out clean.
Notes & Tips
Homemade Self-Rising Flour:
For each cup, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour + 1½ tsp baking powder + ¼ tsp salt.
Add a dash of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla for a flavor boost.
For extra moisture, stir in 1 tbsp Greek yogurt or a splash of almond milk.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
This bread freezes beautifully — wrap slices individually for easy grab-and-go breakfasts!
For a slightly sweeter flavor, mix in a few drops of stevia or monk fruit extract (optional).
Add-ins like chopped nuts, raisins, or sugar-free chocolate chips keep it healthy but fun.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze slices for up to 1 month.
