Instructions for:
moist Applesauce Chiquita Banana Loaf Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a loaf pan, spray with non stick cooking spray or line with non-stick foil. In a large mixing bowl combine the bananas, applesauce and egg; set aside. In a medium bowl combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the dry mixture to the banana blend alternately with the buttermilk. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45 to 55 minutes. Loaf is done when a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean. When pan is cool enough to handle, remove loaf from the pan and cool on a baking rack. Slice when cool.
Serving Suggestions:
This banana loaf is even better the day after baking. Wrap cooled unsliced bread in foil or place in a gallon-size zip top bag to reserve.
Beverage Pairings:
Try with a mug of hot chai tea.
