Prep time: approximately 8 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Total time: 53 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon Splenda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons applesauce
- 2 mashed bananas
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup nuts (walnuts, cashews, or any preferred nut)
- Combine ingredients
- Puree the bananas
- Combine wet and dry ingredients
- Fold in nuts
- Bake banana bread
Combine the flour, cinnamon, Splenda and baking powder in a large bowl.
Puree the bananas in another bowl, then mix in the applesauce and egg.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Fold the nuts into the mixture.
Pour the mixture into a loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes. Check after 25 minutes to make sure the bread is not becoming overbrown. Remove the bread from the oven when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Other ingredients can be added to the banana bread, depending on taste, such as chocolate, ginger, nutmeg and dried apricots.
