My Favorite Banana Bread

I've been using this recipe for as long as I can remember.  I've tweaked it so that it's healthier but either ways it's delicious!

Simple Banana Bread

Ingredients:

½ cup apple sauce  (original recipe: 1/2 cup margarine, softened)

½ cup organic raw or brown sugar  (original recipe: 1 cup white sugar)

2 eggs

1 1/2 cups mashed banana

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9x5 inch pan

Cream apple sauce (margarine) and sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs, then bananas. Add flour, cinnamon and soda, stirring just until combined.

Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 1 hour (or till toothpick comes out clean). Remove from pan and let cool, store in refrigerator or freeze.
