No eggs, no oil, no dairy. At first blush it would appear that this banana bread won’t taste very good, but it is in fact yummy. I went searching for an egg-free recipe not because I’m vegan, but because I’m allergic to eggs. After several batches, I’ve come up with the version that gets eaten up fast around my house.

- In a second bowl mash bananas and add to them applesauce, sugar, vanilla, and almond milk mixture. Stir to mix well.
