Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup melted coconut oil
- 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with a little coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter 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 of the loaf comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your sugar-free banana nut bread!
