Call me looney, but one of the things that I cannot stand is seeing the semi ripe bananas turn over ripe and mushy. The house fills up with its aroma and anytime you walk around it you get that banana ish (?) smell.
Next thing I know nobody at home wants to eat it and I don’t feel like throwing it away either.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 large ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1/3 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnut (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Meanwhile mix the first five (dry) ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
- In a blender make a paste of bananas along with milk.
- Add the banana mixture into the mixing bowl with the dry ingredients.
- Add the applesauce, butter and the cardamom powder and mix well.
- If the mixture seems too dry, add more mashed banana or applesauce to adjust the consistency.
- Add the walnuts or raisins, if using.
-
Pour batter into greased loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes or until the bread is a deep golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

The bread looks so moist. I have not yet tried applesauce in a cake/bread recipe, though have heard about it as a substitute for eggs. I made Indira’s Carrot cake recipe yesterday, which also uses banana. I’ll try this one the next time.

[...] during the weekend when I saw some over ripe bananas over the countertop I faced the age old conundrum and as usual was wondering what to do with them. Yes, I admit the thought of using some of them on [...]
I tried out your banana bread today and loved it! It was moist & very yummy. I made the following changes: Added one banana instead of the apple sauce…didnt have any on hand, cut the quantity of butter by half, increased milk a little, increased soda by 1/4 tsp, added 3/4 cup walnuts, skipped the cardomom powder and raisins,added a fistful of oats and used only whole wheat pastry flour (1.5 cups). All in all a very healthy, tasty, satisfying snack! Thank you.
Also, I used brown sugar (and about 2tbsp less than 3/4 cup)instead of white sugar. Love it!
oh i love to eat bananas raw. i also love foods and recipes with banana in it. they taste very very good
