I had a bunch of bananas that needed to be used up so I turned to my favorite banana bread recipe. The problem was that I didn't have any canned pineapple...so I decided to do an experiment and use applesauce instead.
Here is a picture of the amount of "ripeness" I like in a banana. Some people like their bananas really brown, I just like it nicely spotted. Also in this picture below you can see what I do with my bananas, I mash 3 with a fork, then the 4th I dice up. This is something new that I just started doing, it gives you a burst of banana flavor I think. If you do this dice it small though, you don't want it too chunky. 
I needed some muffins for the freezer since that is usually what I send out the door with Adam for breakfast most mornings. This recipe made 3 little loaves, and 12 regular sized muffins.
So, you are probably wondering, what the verdict was on the applesauce substitution....well, they were really good! I still think I prefer the tang that the pineapple gives, but in a pinch applesauce is a great option. Give it a try, and let us know what you think! -Carissa
