With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it is time to think about what we are going to serve for dinner or what we are going to take as a guest to dinner.  The hardest thing is to think up a desert for some one who can’t have dairy or sugar.   Here is a wonderful treat for such a person that you can give.   I made these with sugar and they turned out wonderful. It is very moist and the applesauce gives it an added flavor surprise.  I bake them in mini loaf pan and shorten the time to 30 minutes.  They could also be baked as muffins.

Applesauce Banana Bread

3 ripe bananas
1 cup  sugar or Spenda plus an extra 1/4 cup of applesauce
1/2 cup  applesauce
2 eggs
1 teaspoon  baking soda
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2  teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon  vanilla extract
2 cup  flour

Preheat oven 350 degrees.  Prepare a standard loaf pan with vegetable spray.

Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl.  In a mixing bowl mash bananas then add sugar and applesauce.  Beat adding one egg at a time then vanilla.  On low speed gradually add flour mixture until blended.  Pour in loaf prepared loaf pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Let stand for 10 minutes before removing from pan.

This is a fail proof recipe and easy to make so please give it a try.
