Ingredients
3 large overripe bananas
2 large eggs
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup chopped walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth with small lumps.
3. Add eggs, melted oil or butter, applesauce, and vanilla to the bananas and mix well.
4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
5. Slowly combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed.
6. Fold in walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips if using.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and moistness.
Don’t overmix the batter—gentle folding ensures a tender texture.
This bread freezes beautifully in slices for quick breakfasts or snacks later.
