This recipe uses no butter or oil but is still quite moist. I used macadamia nuts but you can use hazlenuts, walnuts, raisins or even chocolate chips!

PREP TIME: 20 Min
COOK TIME: 1 Hr
READY IN: 1 Hr 20 Min
SERVINGS: 12

INGREDIENTS

* 1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/4 cup all purpose flour
* 1/2 cup oats
* 3/4 cup sugar
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 cup applesauce
* 1 large egg
* 1/2 cup vanilla yoghurt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 2 medium ripe bananas
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
* 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 350F and lightly grease a loaf pan.

2. Mash the bananas and mix with the egg, yoghurt, sugar, applesauce and vanilla extract.

3. In a separate bowl, mix the flours, baking powder, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg together.

4. Combine dry and wet until just mixed. Fold in the nuts. Spoon the mixture into your prepared loaf pan.

5. Bake in preheated oven at 350F oven for about 1 hour. Check to see if the loaf is ready by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center of the loaf. It should come out completely clean when it’s ready.

6. Allow to cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes and then remove from the loaf pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.

TIPS: If your mixture looks to dry you can add a little more applesauce. You can replace the macadamia nuts with raisins or even chocolate chips if you don’t like nuts. You can also use another type of nut like hazlenuts or walnuts.

   Very tasty recipe. The spices are perfect (make sure you use freshly grated nutmeg), and is a perfect compliment to a cup of coffee in the morning. This is now in my rotation.

   I love this recipe! It turns out perfect every time. Whenever we have bananas that are overripe, my boyfriend begs me to bake this. It’s great for a little snack or for breakfast with a cup on coffee.
