Petite Whole Grain Banana Bread

Preheat toaster oven to 350ºF and grease a petite loaf pan (at least 5 ¾ x 3 x 2).

In a medium bowl, combine mashed banana, egg, oil, applesauce, vanilla and molasses until the egg and oil are well combined into the mixture. Stir in coconut sugar, flour, baking soda and salt just until combined.

Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, gently smoothing the top evenly. Bake at 350ºF for 26–28 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean or with just a few crumbs.

Allow bread to cool in pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the loaf from pan and place on a wire rack until cooled (about 45 minutes) before slicing and serving.

Extra bread can be stored in the freezer. Slice before freezing and wrap well with plastic wrap and foil.
