Lite 'N Moist Banana Nut Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 -5 bananas
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 1/3 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 cup buttermilk or 1/4 cup sour milk
1 cup pecans (chopped)

Preparation

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease or spray 2 8\" x 4\" loaf pans.
Use very ripe bananas, 5 is best. In a large bowl, mash bananas.
Add eggs, vanilla, and applesauce and blend.
Add dry ingredients and stir well. (1/2 cup Splenda Plus for baking may be substituted for sugar).
Dissolve baking soda in milk. Put this in a container bigger than one cup. It will foam up a lot.
Add milk mixture to rest of ingredients and mix well.
Fold in nuts and pour into greased pans.
Bake for about 1 hour and 5 minutes depending on your oven. Start checking for doneness at 55 minutes. (especially with Pyrex pans)
For a moist bread, a toothpick should come out almost clean. Totally clean will mean a dryer loaf.
After removing from oven, let cool for 15 minutes and remove from pans. Bread will freeze nicely.
