How to Make a Moist Bread
I know you’re thinking “There’s no butter in this, so how’s it going to be moist? How’s it going to be fluffy? Pamela, are you lying to me?” I would never lie to you about something as serious as Banana Bread! The truth is that by adding applesauce, we’re making a extremely moist bread, so moist you won’t even know there’s butter missing in it! Applesauce is my baking secret, it’s such a great substitution for butter, and it cuts back on the calories a whole lot!
Ingredients for No Butter Banana Bread
Here’s everything you need to make this banana bread without butter!
How to Make, Step by Step Directions
This bread is easy to make, it only takes about 10 minutes. Add your applesauce (make sure it’s unsweetened) to a bowl along with white sugar and brown sugar. If you’re trying to cut back on sugar, you can def try to lower the amounts of sugar a little bit. Use a hand mixer to mix those 3 ingredients together. Beat in your eggs (vegan? read below for substitute), mashed bananas and vanilla. Word of advise, the riper the banana, the better tasting this banana bread will get. You know those brown bananas you have been ignoring on your counter top? They are PERFECT for this bread! Now add your all purpose flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and keep on mixing. OOOH, that cinnamon smells so good, doesn’t it? Finally add 1/4 cup of the chopped walnuts into the bowl and stir with a spoon. Pour this batter into a loaf pan that’s been been sprayed with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup walnuts on top of the bread. Bake for 45-50 minutes, this produces a moist bread, instead of a bread that’s most chewy and over baked. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes before removing from pan, and then dive in! Dessert, breakfast, snack, whatever. Enjoy this No Butter Banana Bread!
