Instructions
Creating your Sugar Free Banana Bread involves just a few simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
6. Fold in Extras: If you’d like, fold in walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips for an extra touch of flavor.
7. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
