How to Make Magnificent Moist Banana Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 cup granulated sugar.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs (or equivalent egg substitute), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  6. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
