Recipe Instructions

Next, follow the steps to finalize your dish and finally be able to enjoy it!

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray 4 mini loaf pans with baking spray by spraying a very small amount in the pan and spreading it with a paper towel or line pans with parchment paper, leaving some overhanging. You could also use a large loaf pan, 9 x 5 inches, also lightly sprayed or lined with parchment paper.

  2. In a bowl, combine flours, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  3. In a large bowl, stir together apple butter, almond butter, turbinado sugar, maple syrup, aquafaba, and vanilla. Mix well. Add the mashed bananas. Add the flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix. Stir in the walnuts, pecans, pepitas, and cranberries. Spoon batter into prepared pans. For mini loaves, bake approximately 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. For 9 x 5 pan, bake for 1 hour. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Lift out of pans using parchment paper overhang. Cool completely before slicing. (except for that little end piece you test)
