BANANA - APPLESAUCE - BLUEBERRY AND WALNUT FAT-FREE QUICK BREAD



Banana - Applesauce - Blueberry and Walnut Fat-Free Quick Bread image

I was looking for something more healthy for a quick breakfast or snack. This is a great moist quick bread that comes together quickly and husband thinks is good too. It's good plain or with a "touch" of peanut butter (a favorite of my husband) across the top. I divide this into two 8 x 4 loaf pans instead of one 9 x 5 pan. It bakes quicker, stays moist, and goes a bit farther without my husband thinking he's not getting enough too.

Provided by Linda Marie

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 45m

Yield 16 slices (from two loaves), 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 over-ripe bananas
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (I've used up to a total of 1 cup of applesauce if the mixture seems too stiff or dry)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350.
  • Spray two 8 x 4 loaf pans with non-stick spray.
  • In large bowl, blend together bananas, lemon juice, applesauce and brown sugar. I use a hand-held blender, which purres everything quickly and evenly.
  • In another large bowl, wisk together dry ingredients.
  • Add to dry mixture blueberries and nuts and toss until flour coated. This helps to prevent the berries and nuts from settling to the bottom during baking.
  • Add flour-berry/nut mixture to the moist-banana mixture. Mix together by hand folding contents until all is moistened being careful not to overmix.
  • Divide final mixture into the two loaf pans, spreading contents evenly. Place in oven center for about 35 to 40 minutes, until tooth pick comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden brown. I've found the tooth pick test happens first but wait about 5 or so more minutes for the tops to brown.
  • Remove from oven and cool. Even better when served the next day. I cut the loaves into 1 inch thick slices, serving 2 per person.
  • I've also substitued coarsely chopped sweet cherries (1 cup) and cinnamon (1 tsp) for the blueberries and cardamom. Very, Very good too, for all those cherry lovers out there!

Making applesauce banana bread can be a fun and easy process, especially if you know the right tips and tricks. This article will give you some valuable tips to make your applesauce banana bread recipe a success, from selecting the right ingredients to baking and storing your finished product. Selecting the Right Ingredients When making applesauce banana bread, it's important to select the right ingredients to ensure the best texture and flavor. Here are some tips to help you choose the best ingredients: 1. Bananas Choose ripe bananas: Your bananas should be yellow with brown spots on the skin. Overripe bananas will have a sweeter flavor and will be easier to mash. 2. Applesauce Use unsweetened applesauce: For the best texture and flavor, it's best to use unsweetened applesauce in your recipe. If you only have sweetened applesauce on hand, reduce the amount of sugar in your recipe accordingly. 3. Flour Use all-purpose flour: All-purpose flour is the best choice for banana bread, as it provides a good balance of gluten and starch for a moist and tender crumb. 4. Sugar Choose the right type of sugar: White granulated sugar is the most common type of sugar used in banana bread recipes, but you can also use brown sugar for a richer flavor. Adding Flavor To make your applesauce banana bread recipe even more delicious, you can add extra flavorings. Here are some ideas: 1. Spices Some common spices used in banana bread include cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. These spices add warmth and depth to the flavor of your bread. 2. Nuts Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans are a great addition to banana bread. They add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to the bread. 3. Chocolate Chips Who doesn't love chocolate chips in their banana bread? Adding chocolate chips to your recipe will give it a sweet and decadent flavor. 4. Vanilla Extract Adding a teaspoon or two of vanilla extract to your recipe will enhance the flavor of the other ingredients. Baking Your Applesauce Banana Bread Once you have your ingredients prepped and your flavorings added, it's time to bake your banana bread. Here are some tips to ensure the best results: 1. Grease Your Pan Grease your loaf pan with cooking spray, butter, or oil to prevent the bread from sticking. 2. Preheat Your Oven Preheat your oven to the temperature called for in your recipe, usually around 350°F. 3. Don’t Overmix When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense bread. 4. Check for Doneness Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If it's still wet, continue baking for a few more minutes. Storing Your Applesauce Banana Bread Once your banana bread has cooled, it's time to think about storage. Here are some tips to keep your banana bread fresh and delicious: 1. Wrap in Plastic Wrap Wrap your cooled banana bread tightly in plastic wrap to keep it from drying out. 2. Store in the Fridge or Freezer If you don't plan to eat the bread within a few days, store it in the fridge or freezer. Banana bread can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, and in the freezer for up to three months. 3. Reheat Before Serving To enjoy your banana bread warm, simply reheat it in the microwave or in the oven. This will restore its freshness and make it even more delicious. Conclusion Making applesauce banana bread is a great way to use up ripe bananas and create a delicious treat for your family or friends. By selecting the right ingredients, adding flavorful extras, baking with care, and storing properly, you can create a mouth-watering banana bread that will be enjoyed by all.
