Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until fully combined.
In a separate mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet banana mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
