I bought a bunch of bananas on Thursday and by Saturday they were brown. My mother was famous for using applesauce in everything she baked, in lieu of butter or oil.<\/p>\n<p>So I Googled Applesauce Banana Bread. And I found this recipe <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/applesauce-banana-bread-151301\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.food.com\/recipe\/applesauce-banana-bread-151301<\/a>. Which sounded great until I read 1 CUP OF SUGAR!! What!? Are you crazy? Brown bananas are naturally sweet &#8211; this quick bread doesn\u2019t NEED ANY SUGAR! So I omitted the sugar and saved a 100 calories and 25 grams of carbohydrates!! It was moist and delicious! And a lot more exciting than the boring light English Muffin I eat everyday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><br \/>\n4 bananas, ripe<br \/>\n1\/2 cup applesauce<br \/>\n1 teaspoon vanilla extract<br \/>\n2 eggs<br \/>\n1 teaspoon baking soda<br \/>\n1 tablespoon baking powder<br \/>\n1 teaspoon salt<br \/>\n2 cups flour<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Directions:<\/strong><br \/>\n1.
