Whenever i go to supermarket i always buy bunch of bananas because i know if by any chance they go bad, i can use them to make so many things or i must say i want them to ripe soon so that i can try something new with those babies..This recipe is from Costco Cookbook which we got on Thanksgiving..Here is another entry for JFI-Carrots

1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup grated carrots
1 cup mashed bananas

Procedure:-

1) Preheat oven to 350 F, coat 9- by- 5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray
2) In a bowl combine applesauce, sugar & eggs, beat until light & fluffy
3) In separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder & cinnamon. Add to the batter and blend well
4)Fold carrots & banana into the batter.
5) Pour batter into the prepared pan

  4. This looks so good! I've been making banana bread so much, but I didn't think about adding carrots. I will definitely try making this :)

  5. This is DELICIOUS! I love that there is no oil in this. Used whole wheat flour and still delicious. :)

  6. This is delicious. I added 3/4 cup of saltanas and some chopped pecans and it is really yummy. Loved that fact there is no butter or oil although adding the pecans will raise the fat content slightly. Will definitely be making this again!!
