Ingredients for Modified Banana Bread By Paula Deen

  • Butter
  • Unsweetened Applesauce
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (reduce to 1/2 cup for less sweetness)

How to Make Modified Banana Bread By Paula Deen

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until mostly smooth. Add the eggs and oil; mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped walnuts (optional).
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. 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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
