Banana Nut Bread

Banana Bread is a favorite in our house, I often make them into muffins and call them cupcakes. I also alter this recipe by replacing the bananas with any pureed fruit or vegetable ( zucchini, carrots, apples, etc)

Ingredients:

2 cups of all whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1/2 cup of applesauce

1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of honey

2 eggs

4 overripe, smashed bananas

walnuts (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together applesause and brown sugar. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 mins, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.

Enjoy
