Makeover Banana Nut Bread image

This slimmed-down banana bread with applesauce is one of our favorite ways to make banana bread. On top of swapping out the butter, the amount of sugar is also decreased, too, by adding a little honey and using more banana. No one will ever guess this bread is low in fat! -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

I'm not a big fan of banana nut bread, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so moist and flavorful. I love the addition of walnuts. I'll definitely be making this again.
