Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider fresh if possible
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Optional Add-ins
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans for added crunch (optional)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until smooth. Gradually stir in the apple cider until fully incorporated.
- Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be cautious not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- If you’re adding nuts, fold them in at this stage.
Baking
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for about 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve!
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm a slice in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or toast lightly.
