Serves: 8-12
Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 medium sized bananas, mashed
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour (can substitute with all-purpose)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a standard 9"x5" loaf pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce and sugars until the sugars are fully incorporated. Add the eggs and mix well. Then add the vanilla and banana. Add in the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and mix until just incorporated - do not over mix.
  3. Transfer the batter to your prepared loaf pan and bake in your preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow the bread to cool before serving. Leftover bread should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator and will keep for several days. It can also be frozen and thawed.
