Bake 55-60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 1/2 hour before serving.

**Notes from Em**
The original recipe said nothing about using applesauce, I got that from the comments on the recipe. If you choose to do the applesauce, you'll need to bake it an extra 5-10 minutes.

It's a lot better if you add 1 tsp of cinnamon.

Instead of a loaf, you can do 18 muffins and bake for 18-20 minutes.
