How to Make Applesauce Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¾ cup granulated sugar.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Stir in 1 cup unsweetened applesauce and ½ cup packed brown sugar until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in ½ cup dried cranberries (optional).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
