Egg Free Banana Bread

(See also: gluten free banana bread)

Ingredients

4 oz. butter (or vegan butter substitute)

8 oz. sugar

1/4 cup organic apple sauce

8 oz. flour

1 tbs baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 tbs lime juice

2 peeled, mashed ripe bananas

1 cup walnuts (or other nuts)

Instructions

Mix room temperature butter with sugar until smooth.  Mix in eggs (or apple sauce).  Sift dry ingredients and mix in.  Stir in lime juice, banana pulp and nuts, mixing as little as needed to blend smoothly.  

Transfer to a prepared (greased or lined with parchment paper) loaf or square cake pan and bake at 350 F (180 C) for about an hour, until a toothpick stuck into the middle comes out clean.   Can also be made as cupcakes; bake slightly less long.
