Banana Bread

This is a Healthy version of Banana Bread in our Family. I hope you will try it and like it too.

Banana Bread

* 1 1/3 cups Applesauce
* 1/3 cup Light Olive Oil
* 4 eggs
* 4 ripe Bananas mashed
* 2 teaspoons Vanilla
* 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional)

*If you really have a “sweet tooth” you can add 1/3 cup of Brown Sugar.

First mash your ripe peeled Bananas in bowl with fork. Then add remaining ingredients and mix together well.

Dry Ingredients:

* 1 teaspoon Salt
* 3 cups Whole Wheat Flour
* 1 cup All-Purpose Flour or Bread Flour
* 2 teaspoons Baking Soda

In separate bowl whisk together the dry ingredients and add to the wet ingredients. Stir until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.

Prepare two Loaf Pans by spraying with Pam or grease and flour the pans. My Loaf Pans were 8 1/4 x 4 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches.

Bake at 350* F. For 45 to 50 minutes.

Enjoy.
