Easy Butter Free Banana Bread Food

EASY, HEALTHY SUGAR FREE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Combine the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, melted butter, beaten eggs, and unsweetened applesauce in a small bowl.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sweetener, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
• Add the wet ingredients (banana mixture) to the dry ingredients (flour mixture). Mix with a silicone or wooden spoon. Don't overmix. Ensure the flour is incorporated, but the mix should be lumpy.
• Pour the banana bread batter into the parchment paper lined loaf pan. Smooth the batter throughout the pan.
• Bake for 40 minutes.
• Open the oven and tent the pan with foil. Don't fully cover, loosely tent (it shouldn't touch the bread). This will prevent the bread from browning too much on the top as the interior continues to bake.
• Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Test if the bread has finished by inserting a toothpick and testing if it returns clean.
• Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool for at least an additional 15 minutes.

BANANA BREAD WITH OIL (NO BUTTER BANANA BREAD)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mash bananas with a fork.
• Lightly beat eggs.
• Stir eggs, bananas and vegetable oil together.
• Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
• Optional - If you want to enhance this "basic" no butter banana bread, you can stir in a cup of your family's favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
• Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
• Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown.
• Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
• After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.

NO-BUTTER BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat overn to 325. Grease a loaf pan.
• Mash the bananas in a large bowl and add the sugar.
• Whisk in the eggs.
• Sift in the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined.
• Bake for about 1 hour or until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Allow to stand and cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.

EASY DAIRY-FREE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a standard-size loaf pan (mine is 4.5" x 8.5"). Set aside.
• To a large mixing bowl, add the bananas. Using a potato masher, smash until as smooth as possible. Stir in the sugar and canola oil. Add the eggs and whisk together until smooth. Whisk in the vanilla.
• Set a fine-mesh sieve over the bowl. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the sieve. Sift over the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, fold the dry ingredients into the wet, just until combined.
• Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Bake until middle is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 45 - 55 minutes (if you're using a larger pan than my 4.5" x 8.5" pan, start checking at around the 45 minute mark. For the smaller pan, it'll take a bit more time to cook in the middle - closer to 55 minutes).
• Remove from oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Use a butter knife to loosen the sides of the loaf then gently invert the pan to remove the loaf. Let cool on a wire rack.
• Wrap in plastic wrap to store. Bonus: The plastic wrap also makes it nice and moist. Yum!
