Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted
- 3 ripe bananas, medium-sized
- 2 flax eggs
- 1/3 cup almond milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 2 apples, peeled and diced (any variety you have on hand)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter chips
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease your loaf pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the sugars, applesauce, and coconut oil in a bowl. Set aside.
- Add the bananas, flax eggs, almond milk, salt, and baking soda to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Pour half of the banana mixture into the sugar mixture with the all-purpose flour. Stir until combined.
- Add the remaining banana mixture and whole wheat pastry flour to the bowl and mix until combined.
- Stir in the apples and peanut butter chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the peanut butter banana bread to cool for a few minutes before turning the loaf out on a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Too much baking soda or baking in a dark metal pan can lead to faster browning. If your healthy apple banana bread loaf is browning too quickly, you can reduce the oven temperature or tent it with foil.
- Keep your peanut butter banana bread from sinking in the middle by making sure your baking soda is not expired, you're not using too many liquid ingredients, you're not overmixing the batter, and you're not underbaking the loaf. The latter usually happens when you open the oven during baking or when you take the loaf out of the oven without doing the toothpick taste.
- Wrap the cooled apple banana bread in plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container at room temperature for about 4 days. You can also freeze it in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month. Thaw before serving.
