Moist Applesauce Pumpkin Bread Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1.5 cups applesauce
• 2 cups pumpkin puree
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon ground mace
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans thoroughly.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine white sugar and applesauce. Add pumpkin puree and eggs, mixing until smooth. Incorporate baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and mace. Gently fold in walnuts and chocolate chips, then stir in flour until well combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 1 hour. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely for about 50 minutes.
4. Dust the cooled loaves with confectioners' sugar before serving for a beautiful presentation.
