I love to bake homemade treats for my family as often as I can. Today, I am going to share with you my recipe for Applesauce Banana Bread. I love this recipe, as it is really moist, and super flavorful. It’s also a great one to keep in mind for when you have bananas that are overripe, but you don’t want to waste them.

Ingredients:

2 Cups Flour

1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda

¼ Teaspoon of Salt

½ Cup of Butter (Softened)

¾ Cup of Brown Sugar

2 Eggs

3-5 Overripe Bananas

½ Cup of Cinnamon Applesauce or regular Applesauce and ½ Tablespoon of Cinnamon

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees, and spray your 9 x 5 loaf pan. 

Next, combine flour, baking soda, salt, butter, and eggs. Set the bowl aside, and mash your bananas and mix in your applesauce. 

Now, fold your applesauce/banana mixture into your flour mixture.

 Bake for 1 hour and insert a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, it is done! (Sometimes you might have to do this a couple of times, to make sure you didn’t hit a chunk of banana.) The applesauce makes this bread really nice and moist, so be careful when removing it from your pan. 

Slice and enjoy!
