Ingredients
 
 

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F . Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  • Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Mix the sugars, yogurt, butter, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla in a second bowl. Add this into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and better incorporation of ingredients.
  • Mix the batter just until the flour is incorporated. Overmixing leads to a dense or tough bread.
  • Sprinkle sugar or chopped nuts on top before baking or add frosting or a glaze once the loaf is cool.
  • Fold in dried cranberries, raisins, or mini chocolate chips to change up the flavor.
  • Rest the loaf and cool completely before slicing.
Serve: Enjoy with a spread of butter or cream cheese. Pair with coffee or a warm cup of spiced tea. 
Store: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic and foil for up to 1 month. Reheat slices in the oven until warmed through.
