Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9″ x 5″ bread pan and set aside.

Mix together flour, soda, salt cinnamon, and nutmeg.

In a separate bowl mash bananas. Add applesauce, honey, eggs, and vanilla.

Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add applesauce mixture. Stir only until combined. Do not over work. Dust currents with flour, and fold into the dough (the flour will help to suspend the currents in the bread)

Pour batter into the loaf pan and place in the oven for 60 – 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool 5 minutes in the pan before turning out onto a cooling rack. Allow the bread to completely cool to develop. Place loaf in a plastic bag or wrap with plastic wrap.
