This is literally the BEST banana bread I have ever had. It’s moist with a little bit of chewiness in the crust. Sprinkle some turbinado sugar on it for a little crunch.

 Banana Bread

Who doesn’t love a delicious banana bread? It’s the perfect quick and easy recipe for company, or when you have brown bananas on your counter.
I went to a recipe swap party. Have you ever done this? You had to bring a recipe or two to share. After mingling and catching up with each other, and making some new friends, we all sat down at the table and just passed the recipes around and copied them. There was all categories of recipes. It was an enjoyable night out with friends, or should I say night in, and left me inspired to try a bunch of new recipes. We all need some inspiration every now and then. (UPDATE–just so ya know, when this post was originally written, there wasn’t no pinterest! This was the old fashioned way of getting a new recipe!)

So one the gals brought this banana bread recipe. I was glad, because I hadn’t really mastered banana bread, sure it’s easy to make, but sometimes its dry, or its not cooked in the middle. I’m tellin’ ya, this bread is perfect! The best ever! You need to look no further, you have found the best banana bread
e-veh!!!

The missing ingredient

Well, everyone loves this bread, so they always ask me for the recipe. And when I tell them, they without fail say to me “and eggs right? you forgot to write down the eggs”, or, “how many eggs?” No people! There are no eggs in this bread! I know you can’t believe it, so you are just going to have to try it for yourself. I promise you, you won’t miss it!

This is also a little lower calorie bread because I use unsweetened applesauce instead of oil. But if you don’t have any of that on hand, you can use vegetable oil or coconut oil. I do recommend using the applesauce if you have it. I make a homemade applesauce so I always have it on hand.

      Thanks Nikki, it really is moist! I’ve never made it gluten free, so keep me posted on how yours turns out. I know you’re the expert on that!

    I love that this has no eggs in it! My friend’s daughter is allergic to eggs so I will make sure I pass this along to her 🙂
