Equipment

  • 1 loaf pan 9x5''

Ingredients
  

  • 2 bananas ripe, mashed
  • 1 cup prunes pitted, chopped
  • 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup walnuts optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth. Stir in the chopped California prunes and applesauce.
  • Beat in the maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
