Prepare and Bake Bread

Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan so the bread doesn’t stick. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. In another bowl, mash the bananas and beat in the eggs until everything is well combined. Then stir in the applesauce, maple syrup, agave nectar, and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently mix with a spatula until just combined—you don’t want to overmix. Pour the batter into your prepared pan and bake for about 80 to 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Carefully flip it out onto a wire rack or plate and let it cool completely before slicing.

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Do not overmix the batter; stir just until the ingredients are combined to keep the bread tender.
- Check the bread with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs when done.
