This easy Applesauce Bread recipe is healthier than most quick breads and is so moist and flavorful from the unsweetened applesauce, Greek yogurt, and the perfect blend of spices.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9X5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the insides of the pan with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, whisking until smooth. Add the applesauce, vanilla, and Greek yogurt and mix until well-combined
Add the flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and stir just until combined; don't over-mix the batter.
Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
Bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with just moist crumbs.
Remove from oven. Run a knife gently around the side of the pan and then remove bread onto a cooling rack.
