Description

This was a family favorite that I made over. My makeover included substituting applesauce for oil and 2 egg whites for a single egg, reducing the sugar, substituting whole wheat flour for all-purpose and upping the baking soda.

The result was a tasty, satisfying, hearty version that allowed me a “treat” that wasn’t too sweet. And thanks to Tammie who introduced me to subbing applesauce for oil many, many years ago.

Ingredients

  • 3 whole Ripe Bananas
  • ¾ cups White Sugar
  • ¼ cups Applesauce
  • 2 whole Egg Whites
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1-½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1-½ cup Whole Wheat Flour

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Put the bananas into a mixing bowl. With an electric mixer “mash” bananas until smooth. Add sugar, applesauce, egg whites and vanilla. Mix well. Mix in baking soda and salt. Blend in flour with a spoon until just mixed.

Pour the batter into a greased 5”x9” pan and bake for 45 minutes at 350 F.
