- Next add the flour, salt, baking soda, and mix until just combined and there are no remaining streaks of flour. DO NOT OVER MIX.

Notes
*You can substitute an equal amount of oil (vegetable, canola, or olive oil) for the applesauce, however it will result in higher calories. As far as flavor goes, both taste delicious!
*To freeze banana bread slices, let cool completely and wrap each slice in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Place inside a freezer safe Ziploc bag and freeze. To thaw, place a slice or slices in the refrigerator to thaw overnight or if eating immediately, microwave for 30 seconds at a time until heated.
