Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoons cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 optional for greasing non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice and enjoy your delicious low-fat applesauce banana bread!
