Ingredients
For the banana bread | |
|---|---|
| 2 | eggs |
| ⅔ | cup white sugar |
| 2 | very ripe bananas, mashed |
| ¼ | cup applesauce |
| ⅓ | cup nonfat milk |
| 1 | tablespoon vegetable oil |
| ¾ | tablespoon vanilla extract |
| 1 ¾ | cups all-purpose flour |
| 2 | teaspoons baking powder |
| ½ | teaspoon baking soda |
| ½ | teaspoon salt |
| ⅓ | cup chopped walnuts |
Instructions
For preparing the batter | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a full-size bread pan with non-stick cooking spray and lightly dust with flour. |
| 2. | In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 5 minutes. |
| 3. | Add the mashed bananas, applesauce, milk, oil, and vanilla to the egg mixture, and beat until well combined. |
| 4. | In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. |
| 5. | Gently fold the flour mixture into the banana mixture, stirring just until everything is incorporated. |
| 6. | Carefully fold in the chopped walnuts. |
| 7. | Pour the batter into the prepared pan, ensuring it does not fill more than half full. If using smaller pans, be cautious not to overfill to prevent overflow during baking. |
| 8. | Bake in the preheated oven until the bread is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, which should take about 1 hour. |
| 9. | Remove the bread from the pan and let it cool on a wire rack. |
