We made this bread for dessert last Wednesday (we added chocolate chips) and I didn’t manage to take any photos of the final product. This recipe originally came from a blog friend, but I’ve modified it slightly. All three of the kids love this bread and it’s a great way to use up ripe bananas. As you can see, Bo, Clara, and Anna all love to help cook. After I had poured the batter into the pans I let them use their spoons to lick the remaining batter. They were in Heaven.
Banana Bread
- 1 1/2 C sugar
- 3/4 cup applesauce
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 5 med very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3 C flour (I use 2 cups all purpose and 1 cup whole wheat)
- 1 tsp salt
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Bake for about 60 minutes at 350, test with toothpick in center. It’s also good if you add some chocolate chips in the batter, or walnuts if you desire!
Each Monday, I’ll showcase a family and kid-friendly recipe to share with your family. Please let me know if you try one of my recipes! Enjoy!
I use Splenda and dark chocolate chips, it’s my favorite treat.
