Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized Overripe bananas
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (or agave syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just blended. Do not overmix—the batter will be thick.
Fold in the chopped walnuts or dairy-free chocolate chips, if using.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
