Recipe by cinq1774

I made this recipe twice in 2 days as my friends and family all enjoyed it so much. It makes a moist, chewy yet soft bread/ cake with lots of banana flavour but not too sweet which suits my taste better. No eggs, no butter, no oil, quick and easy.

¹⁄₂

cup sweetened applesauce
¹⁄₂

cup white sugar
4

very ripe bananas, mashed
1 ¹⁄₂

cups plain flour
¹⁄₂

teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂

teaspoon vanilla essence
1

teaspoon baking soda
cinnamon and brown sugar (for sprinkling)

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven at 160 deg C (325 F). Grease 7X7" tin or a 9X5" bread tin. 7x7" cooks faster.
Mix applesauce and sugar in a bowl. If using unsweetened applesauce, add about 2 tablespoons of sugar extra.
Add bananas and mix. Add flour, salt, vanilla essence and baking soda. Mix quickly but thoroughly.
Pour into tin. Sprinkle with some brown sugar and cinnamon powder. Put into oven immediately.
Bake till a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean (A little mashed banana on the knife is ok as there's so much fruit. If in doubt, taste to see it doesn't taste of raw flour).
Ovens vary so always check about 5mins before when you think it will be ready. About 50mins in a fan-assisted oven for 7X7" tin.
