Ingredients:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup salted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions:
1️⃣ Preheat the Oven (Time: 5 minutes)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or cooking spray.
2️⃣ Mix the Wet Ingredients (Time: 3 minutes)
In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add in the eggs, melted butter, and apple sauce. Mix until well combined. Stir in the brown sugar and white sugar until the mixture is smooth.
3️⃣ Combine the Dry Ingredients (Time: 2 minutes)
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
4️⃣ Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients (Time: 2 minutes)
Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the texture.
5️⃣ Pour & Bake (Time: 50-60 minutes)
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6️⃣ Cool & Serve (Time: 15 minutes)
Let the banana bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
