- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
How to Make It
Now that you have everything, let’s get that oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) and follow these easy steps:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), brown sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Make sure not to overmix! If you’re using walnuts, fold them in gently.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
