Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Ripe bananas (mashed)
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 0.5 cups Raisins
- 1 medium Apple (finely chopped, peeled)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and brown sugar. Stir until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Fold in the raisins and finely chopped apple, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Low Fat Apple Banana Raisin Bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
