Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized Overripe bananas
• 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Maple syrup (or agave syrup)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or dairy-free chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.

Step 3

Add the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just blended. Do not overmix—the batter will be thick.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped walnuts or dairy-free chocolate chips, if using.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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