Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bran cereal, mashed bananas, applesauce, and sugar.
  3. Pour the boiling water over the mixture and stir well to soften the cereal. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Alternatively, whisk them thoroughly with a fork to ensure even distribution.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix to avoid a dense texture.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
