Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas The spottier, the better
- ⅓ cup melted butter or oil Coconut oil can be used for a healthier option
- ⅔ cup sugar Can use white or brown sugar
- ¼ cup applesauce or plain yogurt Acts as the egg substitute
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour Almond flour not tested
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt Regular salt, not fancy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Extra splash if you're feeling adventurous
- ½ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips Optional mix-ins
Instructions
Preparation
- Mash the ripe bananas in a bowl until smooth.
- Drizzle in the melted butter and mix well.
- Stir in the sugar, applesauce (or yogurt), and vanilla until combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold gently until combined.
- Fold in nuts or chocolate chips if using.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-55 minutes.
- Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean with minimal crumbs.
- Allow to cool before slicing.
Notes
For a restaurant-style crust, dust the greased pan with flour. If the bread browns too quickly, tent it with foil to prevent burning.
