Step-by-Step Method
Prepare the oven and mold
Preheat the oven to 175°C. Lightly grease the cake/bread mold or line it with baking paper; so you can easily remove it.
Mix dry ingredients
Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Make sure there are no lumps left.
Create wet mixture
In another bowl, mix the mashed bananas, applesauce, granulated sugar and vanilla. All you have to do is turn it a few times until the sugar is completely dispersed.
Assemble dough
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula just until the flour disappears; Do not mix too much so that the bread texture does not harden.
Pour into mold and bake
Transfer the dough to the mold and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes; It's done when the toothpick you inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Let rest and serve
Let it rest in the mold for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and cool completely. You can slice it and serve it plain or with some peanut butter on top.
