Cinnamon Applesauce Bread: Velvety Crumb

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, egg, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
3. In a separate container or directly into the bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt.
4. Gently fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Stir only until no streaks of dry flour remain to prevent gluten over-development.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
