Preheat oven to 325 F/165 C. Defrost bananas fully then mash until they are mostly lump-free. With a hand mixer, beat together the banana, applesauce, eggs, vanilla, and water until creamy.

In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and spices.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, beating well. Pour the batter into a gently oiled and floured baking dish and spread evenly.

Bake for 45 minutes 45 Minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack before slicing.

Make Banana Butter in your food processor. Puree the butter, banana, lemon juice and salt. Sprinkle with cinnamon and serve slathered banana bread. Enjoy just one slice before bed...don't overdo it! Nighty night!
