Applesauce Nut Bread

Ingredients

• 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1 egg
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 6 packets Sweet 'N Low zero calorie sweetener
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick coating agent.* In large bowl, sift together dry ingredients; stir in nuts. In separate bowl, beat egg with electric mixer until frothy, about 30 seconds. Stir in applesauce and oil. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

*There's no need to spray with a nonstick coating agent if you own a nonstick 9x5-inch loaf pan.
