If you want a healthy bread that doesn’t taste healthy, look no further. This bread uses whole wheat flour, applesauce, and honey, so no sugar, and tons of healthy goodness. And to add even more amazingness, this is a quick bread. It comes together in about 5 minutes, and bakes for about an hour. This means it is the perfect banana bread. Very little work, very little clean up, and lots of flavor.
My family goes in cycles with bananas, sometimes I can’t keep enough in the house, and other times they start to go brown before anyone touches them. This week my bananas were starting to get too ripe, so I knew it was going to be a banana bread morning! So glad it was. It got gobbled up.
