Banana Bread Recipe
Report
This Banana Bread Recipe produces a moist, chunky-textured loaf combining ripe mashed bananas with a blend of leavening agents and a touch of coconut oil and applesauce for tenderness. The batter is gently mixed to avoid overworking, ensuring a tender crumb. Baked in a standard loaf pan, it yields a slightly sweet, flavorful bread ideal for breakfast or a snack.
Description
The Banana Bread Recipe features mashed ripe bananas incorporated into a mix of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Coconut oil and applesauce replace some traditional fats, adding moisture while keeping the crumb soft. Brown sugar and vanilla provide balanced sweetness and aroma. The mixture is carefully combined to maintain texture without overmixing. Baked at 350°F for about 45-50 minutes, the loaf develops a lightly browned crust and a moist interior. Letting the bread cool before slicing helps it hold together well when served.

- baking spray
- 3 large banana 11 oz in weight or 1 1/3 cup total), mashed chunky with fork, ripe
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 8 ounces total weight, unbleached
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (butter works too)
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (I used Lakanto monk fruit 3.2 oz)
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 8x5 inch loaf pan with baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt with a wire whisk. Set aside.
- In a large bowl cream coconut oil, apple sauce and sugar with an electric mixer or stand mixer. Add egg and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until thick.
- Scrape down sides of the bowl.
- Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients and blend at low speed until combined, add remaining 1/2 of the dry ingredients and the mashed bananas and blend at low speed until batter is combined. Do not over mix.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake on the center rack for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, but moist.
- Let the pan cool at least 10 minutes, bread should be room temperature before slicing.
