Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups mashed very ripe bananas (about 3 large bananas or 4 smaller bananas)
- ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt (I use Morton's iodized table salt for this recipe)
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray an 8 ½-inch by 4 ½-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together the mashed bananas, applesauce, and melted butter.
- Add the sugar, egg, and vanilla extract to the banana mixture. Stir until well combined. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture; stir until well blended. Add the whole wheat flour and the all-purpose flour, stirring or whisking just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Tent the top of the loaf with foil if it starts to get too dark before it's done baking. My loaf is typically done within 50 minutes, so check it early.
- Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan. Cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- If you don't have applesauce, you can substitute with an equal amount of yogurt.
- If you don't have whole wheat flour on hand, substitute with an additional 3/4 cup of all-purpose flour.
