directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Whisk together melted butter, sugar and applesauce. Stir in eggs, bananas, vanilla extract and water.
- In a separate bowl, mix flours, salt and baking soda. Add flour mixture to banana mixture and stir only until combined. Don't beat the mixture. Gently stir in nuts.
- Pour into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. If desired, sprinkle with "raw" sugar.
- Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour 10 minutes. Start checking the doneness with a toothpick after 50 minutes. If not done, check every 5 minutes after. The toothpick should come out without any batter on it when it is done. Rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack.
- Just try to keep everyone away from it. The smell is intoxicating!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a sleepy borough named Denver, Pennsylvania.
I work as a medical records clerk at a nearby hospital.
My favorite cookbook is one I co-wrote with my sister and published to give to family and friends.
I love to create recipes using low fat ingredients and high protein since I have had weight loss surgery.
My pet peeves are people who ask, "How much fat is in that???" and people who post recipes on forums that they haven't even tried themselves!!!!!
