Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Splenda Granulated Sweetener
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 as needed nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, Splenda Granulated Sweetener, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped walnuts, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the banana bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Slice and serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
