Using applesauce instead of butter reduces the fat of this delicious bread. Could also be made as cupcakes or muffins. Toasting the pecans is optional. Ingredients:
2/3 cup pecans |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/3 cups packed brown sugar |
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup applesauce |
1/4 cup water |
1/4 cup vegetable oil |
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. Spread pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet.
3. Bake pecans in the preheated oven until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove pecans from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir applesauce, water, vegetable oil, and vinegar together in a separate bowl. Stir applesauce mixture into flour mixture until just combined; fold in pecans. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
