Ingredients
Banana Bread Batter
- 3 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or olive oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- chopped walnuts or sugar free chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Mash the bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the bread.
- Add the wet ingredients: Whisk in the eggs, melted oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine the batter: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Add optional mix-ins: Fold in nuts or sugar free chocolate chips if using.
- Bake the banana bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and slice: Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
