This delicious banana bread is completely green tier and is sweetened with bananas and applesauce only. The spelt flour also makes this bread gluten free, a healthy alternative to eating grains.

You can bake this either in a bundt pan or in a traditional loaf pan – we have tried both. It looks spectacular in the bundt pan, but is slightly more difficult to get it baked all the way through. If you are not an experienced baker, the loaf pan is therefore an easier choice. The bread requires a longer baking time than other banana bread recipes because of the applesauce, but it will stay moist and delicious for days.
