1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup coconut sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir in the coconut sugar until the mixture is well blended.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Create the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for an extra crunch.
Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Enjoy: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and savor each delightful, plant-powered bite.
Pro Tips for Perfection:

Ensure your bananas are ripe; the spottier, the better, as they provide natural sweetness.
Use high-quality coconut oil for a rich, moist texture.
Sift the flour for an airy consistency.
Experiment with add-ins like dairy-free chocolate chips or shredded coconut for a personalized touch.
