This banana bread is made with maple syrup instead of sugar. It uses all natural ingredients and is incredibly moist with a great taste. I like organic ingredients as much as possible, but anything works.

Combine bananas and eggs in a second bowl and beat using an electric mixer until well combined. Mix applesauce, maple syrup, agave nectar, and vanilla extract into the bowl. Add banana mixture to flour mixture and mix using a spatula until fully moistened. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
