Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Ripe bananas
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1.75 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly 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 eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the banana 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 serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
