Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Sugar substitute (like Splenda or Stevia)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional)
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, sugar substitute, and ground cinnamon, if using.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice the loaf into 12 equal pieces and enjoy! Each slice is 1 Weight Watchers Point on the Flex Points system.
