Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium ripe bananas
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.33 cup granulated sugar
- as needed nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Stir in the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the granulated sugar, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve and enjoy as a low-fat, Weight Watcher friendly treat!
