How to Make Baby Food Banana Bread
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter. Microwave on high for 20-30 seconds, or until softened but not melted. Stir until well combined.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the applesauce baby food, mashed bananas, lime juice, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the softened butter mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula just until the ingredients are moistened. A few lumps are okay.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick 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. This prevents the bread from falling apart.
