This banana bread recipe puts my wife and kids in a good mood for a few days and they all get excited when they know it's coming. It can easily be turned into a gluten-free recipe by substituting the flour for a gluten-free alternative flour (I like Namaste GF Perfect Flour Blend). Is it healthy? Probably not. And by "probably", I mean, definitely not! It's got a lot of butter and sugar, carbs, etc. But man, is it tasty!

4 tspvanilla extract

3 cupsflour

2 tspbaking soda

1 tspsalt

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or spray 2 9" loaf pans. I like to use coconut oil as it pleasantly adds to the taste.

Step 2

Mix melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, eggs (one at a time), and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Slowly mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until combined. *Tip - consider adding the salt and baking soda prior to the flour as the flour makes it much harder to mix.

Step 4

Mash very ripe bananas with a fork until mush and combine with the apple sauce. Do not over mash, a little lumpy is ideal. Add to dough.

Step 5

Pour evenly between 2 glass loaf pans.

Step 6

6. Bake for 1 hour. Test with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out dry, the banana bread is done. Let them sit and cool before trying to cut. Cutting them when too hot causes them to crack and break. I let them sit overnight or for at least a few hours.
