Applesauce Bread is moist and slightly sweet with a nut and brown sugar topping to put it over the edge. This is the perfect afternoon snack or early morning treat.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the oil, applesauce, milk, eggs and granulated sugar.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and spices. Add the wet ingredients and the chopped nuts and stir to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients until well combined. Sprinkle evenly over the bread batter.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before removing and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.
Wrap tightly in foil and store at room temperature for up to 3 days.
