Recipe: Vegan Banana Bread With Applesauce
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
* 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
* 1/4 cup canola oil
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
* 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 teaspoons baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
* 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or oil.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, almond milk, canola oil, and sugar. Mix until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips, if using.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
8. Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Variations:
* Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for an extra boost of flavor.
* Substitute chopped pecans or hazelnuts for the walnuts.
* Add dried cranberries or raisins for a fruity twist.
* Make muffins instead of a loaf by dividing the batter evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
