So, I love banana bread and, over the years, I've tried a lot of different recipes. I always come back to this recipe, though, because it is the best one ever. I originally go this recipe from my MIL, but I've modified it quite a bit, to get it just right.
I hope you'll try it and tell me what you think:
Banana Bread with Cinnamon
2 cups ripe bananas - mashed (I use my potato masher)
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar - firmly packed
3 eggs
2 Tbs vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 Tbs cinnamon
1 Tbs baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease two loaf pans and set aside. In one bowl, mix bananas, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to banana mixture and mix. Pour into two loaf pans and bake for 40 minutes or until dark golden brown.
Notes: The recipe originally called for nuts, but I don't like nuts, so I leave them out. Since I don't remember how much I have I guess you'd put in about 1/2 cup to a 1 cup of chopped walnuts. Also, the original recipe called for canola oil instead of applesauce, so if you don't have applesauce, just put in 1/2 cup of canola oil instead.

I can not tell a lie...I could eat the entire loaf myself. I especially like the ends!
I totally agree, we do need our friends as well. It's so nice to have somebody to schlump around with at Costco or have a pop with at McDonalds!
About the flooding: you poor dear! The news said this will be the worst flooding we've ever had. So far our basement is o.k. except that water started coming in through my mom's windows. Fortunately it wasn't enough to damage the carpet as we caught it and managed to soak it up with towels.
Your banana looks yummy. I love banana bread!!
oohh, banana bread without oil! I will have to try this!!
