Ingredients

    • 4 very ripe bananas
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • 2 tablespoons butter, softened

    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 egg
    • 2 tablespoons applesauce

Directions

  1. Mash bananas in a bowl.
  2. Add all other ingredients and mix well.
  3. Pour into 2 greased loaf pans (or you can pour it all into one, but it rises enough that you can split it in half).
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.

  2. Had some bananas that were on their way out so Caroline offered up her services to make some banana bread. Recalling a comment from Leigh's coconut zucchini bread we looked up using banana as a substitute for sugar in baking. (1:1 sub of mashed banana for sugar). Not being brave enough to go all the way she subbed 1/2 cup of the sugar with 1/2 cup of mashed banana. Still unbelievably delicious and now low fat AND lower sugar! Next time I'm thinking of experimenting with whole wheat flour.
