A delightful banana loaf with a hint of cinnamon, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and grease a loaf tin.
Greasing the tin ensures the loaf doesn't stick, making it easier to remove after baking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the applesauce and sugar until smooth.
Mixing these ingredients well helps distribute the sweetness evenly.
Mash the bananas and add them to the bowl, stirring to combine.
Use a fork to mash the bananas for a smoother texture.
Sift in the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, and fold gently into the wet mixture.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf light and fluffy.
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top.
Tap the tin gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Sprinkle the top with brown sugar and cinnamon for a crunchy topping.
This step adds a delightful crunch and extra flavor to the loaf.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf 5 minutes before the suggested time to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling the loaf ensures it sets properly and is easier to slice.
Slice and serve your banana cinnamon loaf with your favorite beverage.
Pair with a warm cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
