I love bananas. But I don't love bananas once they start to become too ripe. While fixing dinner tonight, I knew I had to get rid of the overripe bananas sitting on the counter, but I couldn't bring myself to just throw them away. I searched through my recipe list and found 8 Weeks to a Better You's recipe for Banana Bread and thought I'd give it a try. So. Good.
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
3/4 cup honey
2 eggs, beaten
3 mashed overripe bananas
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together and fill greased muffin tins. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until inserted toothpick is clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Makes approximately 24 muffins.
The original recipe makes a loaf of bread, but I took the muffin route as we don't own a loaf pan. I cut the cook time down quite a bit due to this. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. After reading a few reader comments on the original post, I was afraid they would be more on the bland side. The honey gives a perfect amount of sweetness for this delicious muffin. T's suggestion for future batches is to add chocolate or butterscotch chips. I think he might be on to something!
