ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs or equivalent egg substitute
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or ground nutmeg, or to taste
3 medium peeled and mashed bananas
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a muffin pan or loaf pan.
Combine the brown sugar, eggs, and applesauce in a large bowl. Mix well.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (or nutmeg) in another bowl. Stir the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Add the bananas and mix gently. The batter will be a little lumpy. Do not overmix the batter.
Fill the muffin cups 2/3rds full (or pour into the loaf pan). Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes or until set. Bake for 30-40 minutes for a loaf pan.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the muffins cool for 3 minutes in the pan then remove from the pan and let cool on a wire rack. If using a loaf pan, let the bread cool in the pan.
Store the cooled muffins in an airtight container.

Extremely flavorful. Easy to make. Really satisfies the craving for sweets. My husband loved them. They are a little heavy but it doesn't deter from the taste.
