Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 Overripe bananas
- 2 Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 0.5 cup Optional: Chopped walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving a few small lumps for texture.
Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Pour in the almond milk and fold it in gently to loosen the batter. If using optional add-ins like chopped walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips, gently fold them in at this stage.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Once done, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice into 10 equal servings and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
