Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Stir in the granulated sugar, applesauce, oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three parts, gently folding after each addition until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread light and airy.
