Instructions
Creating your Sugar Free Banana Bread is easy when you follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mash Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Mix well until combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using).
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
6. Add Nuts (Optional): Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans if you wish to include them in your bread.
7. Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake: Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Following these simple steps will lead you to an incredible Sugar Free Banana Bread that everyone will love!
