I made this today. I ate almost half of it after it came out of the oven. I used walnuts. I will be making it again.
2 eggs
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup vegtable oil
4 Tablespoons applesauce
¼ cup almonds or walnuts (optional)
3 medium to small peaches or 2 very large ones
1 ½ cup of all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 8 x 4 inch loaf pan.
You can do the peaches 2 ways: Either peel and dice and set aside to simply add into batter later. Or you can peel and cut into wedges and cook (medium low heat) with a couple tablespoons of sugar, and about ½ a cup of water. Cook about 15 minutes covered and then 15 uncovered until you have a thick compote and water has mostly evaporated. Mash with fork and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs lightly and remove 2 tablespoons (that equals about ½ an egg so you can meet the 1 ½ eggs this recipe calls for). Blend in the sugar, oil, applesauce and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and ginger. Mix just to combine.
Stir in the peaches (either compote or diced pieces or a combination of both) and nuts (optional). Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for about 30-35 mins, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
