How to Make Banana Nut Bread Healthy Low Fat Low Sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a mini loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ cup granulated sugar (or to taste, you can use less!), and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add ½ cup unsweetened applesauce and 1 large egg. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (or a mix!).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared mini loaf pan.
  7. Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil after 25 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
