Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.33 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, honey, vanilla extract, and eggs to the mashed bananas. Stir until all the wet ingredients are well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or a wooden spoon. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy your moist and flavorful low-fat banana bread!
