How to Make Berry Banana Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a food processor, puree 2 large ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup canola oil, and ½ cup applesauce until well combined.
  4. Add the pureed bananas and mix until just incorporated.
  5. Stir in ½ cup milk.
  6. In a separate bowl, gently combine 1 cup blueberries, 1 cup strawberries, and ½ cup raspberries (optional) with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Gently fold in the berry mixture.
  10. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
