CHOCOLATE APPLESAUCE BREAD

I got this from another recipe site, so I don't know the original source. It is nice and moist and has a good chocolately flavor. The original recipe said to put it in 2 1-lb. loaf pans, but they were so full that the middle was still gooey when the outside was done, so I'm suggesting 3 pans and a slightly shorter baking time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right applesauce: For the best flavor, use unsweetened applesauce made from tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn. You can also make your own applesauce by simmering peeled, cored apples with a little bit of water and sugar until softened.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from becoming crumbly.

Conclusion:

Chocolate applesauce bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up leftover applesauce. With its moist texture, rich chocolate flavor, and hints of cinnamon and nutmeg, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
