Banana Bread

Here is our all time favorite banana bread recipe. I have since adapted it to be a tad bit healthier. I'll post both :)

Original Recipe
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
dash of salt
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
3-4 mashed bananas

Mix dry ingredients and whisk oil and eggs. Pour oil/egg mixture into the flour mixture. Add the mashed bananas stir until just combined. Bake at 325 degrees  50 min for bundt pan - 35 min for bread pan - 20 min for 12 muffins. After cool, smear with the below frosting.

Frosting
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon butter
powder sugar
milk


I have started making the following to help cut down on our sugar. The taste isn't that different and after making it a couple times we only make this version. Directions/baking times are the same. NO frosting ;) although sometimes I really, really want it! It is also dairy free, no adaptions necessary.

Adapted Recipe
2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar or 1/2 cup honey
1 teaspoon baking soda
dash of salt
1/2 cup apple sauce
2 eggs
3-4 mashed bananas
