not a dinner, but...banana bread!

We love this fresh out of the oven! It is a good breakfast, snack, good in kids lunches...GOOD!



One of our favorite treats is banana bread...we love using those yucky brown bananas that sit on the counter! Kids help make this one... SO easy! We have altered it some for our daughter who has a milk and egg allergy! (this only makes one loaf, you might want to double!)


3 VERY ripe bananas (brown and smushy work best!)
3/4 c. sugar
pinch salt
1-2 heaping tablespoon unsweetened applesauce (1 egg beaten if un-vegan!)
1/4 c. veg. based butter melted (regular butter in old recipe!)
1 tsp baking soda dissolved in
1 Tablespoon water
2 c. wheat flour (recipe calls for white, but we altered years ago and kids cannot tell!)
sprinkle of cinnamon


preheat oven 350...mix all in large mixer as listed...pour into greased and sugared 9x5x3 loaf pan...sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top...bake 1 hour. Enjoy! (yield: 1 loaf) We rub a little butter on top right out of oven, vegetable based butter now! This is not low fat, but I have to say it doesn't make you feel as guilty after now!

note: we use 2 Tablespoons of the apple sauce to make it more moist
