Banana Bread Recipe

Here's my banana bread recipe.  It's basically like every other one out there but I do the butter or oil part a little differently.  

Banana Bread

You can mix this together all in one bowl which is why I like this recipe, it's super easy and delicious.  You might want to whisk the egg separately before adding but I don't.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Mash two large ripe bananas in a medium size bowl.

Add 1/8 cup oil to a measuring cup and then add plain unsweetened applesauce up to the 1/2 cup mark on the measuring cup so you wind up with a total of 1/2 cup of this oil and applesauce mixture

Mix the oil and applesauce together in the measuring cup and then add to the bowl with bananas

Add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 

Add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon vanilla

Add 3/4 to 1 cup brown sugar 

Add one free range egg 

Add one and a half cups flour

Add a pinch of salt 

Mix all the ingredients together in the bowl until smooth

Pour into a greased bread baking sized pan 

On top sprinkle walnut pieces, cinnamon and mini chocolate chips : )

Put in oven and bake for about 55 minutes.  You can test doneness with a fork.

Take out of oven and cool, remove banana bread from baking dish, slice and eat.

I am eating a piece right now.  Yummy.
