Ingredients
1 and 1/4 cups mashed bananas (about 3 medium or 2 large ripe bananas)
6 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
2 large eggs
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar (can substitute with coconut sugar)
1/3 cup milk (can be dairy or non-dairy)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 and 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional, can be replaced with chocolate chips or raisins)
Instructions
1-First, heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a loaf pan by lining it with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy, setting the stage for success.
2-Next, roast the bananas by placing peeled ones on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until they soften and caramelize, which boosts their natural sweetness.
3-In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients like whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to ensure they blend well.
4-In another bowl, combine the wet items such as mashed roasted bananas, applesauce, eggs, honey, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract.
5-Gradually add the dry mix to the wet one, stirring gently to avoid overmixing, which keeps the bread light.
6-Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick.
7-Let it cool before slicing to enjoy the full flavor of your whole wheat roasted banana bread.
