Ingredients
- 3 large Ripe bananas
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and lightly grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Stir in the granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Step 6
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
