Banana Bread


I know there are a million recipes for banana bread out there, and I don't expect anyone to adopt a new one if you've found one you love. But if you don't have one, this is a good one. And I wanted to post it because I refer to the recipes on this blog, too, and wanted to have a record of this very good banana bread!

This isn't the healthiest, lowest fat or most interesting banana bread. It's just straight up delicious, no frills, just how it should be, regular banana bread.

Start by creaming together the oil, applesauce and sugar. Add in the bananas,


eggs and vanilla and mix well. In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon,


baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add this to the batter alternately with the buttermilk


and mix just until combined. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan


and bake for about an hour.


Cool the bread in the pan for about 15 minutes then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
