Bake this moist, naturally sweet banana bread using only ripe bananas for sweetness. It is a simple, guilt-free treat perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 very ripe large bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard 9×5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, melted oil or butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix only until you see no streaks of flour remaining. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in the optional nuts, if using.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black for the best natural sweetness.
  • For a low-carb alternative, substitute the wheat flour with 2 cups of almond flour and add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum.
  • If you prefer a slightly sweeter loaf without refined sugar, add 1/4 cup of pure monk fruit sweetener to the dry ingredients.
