Quick Banana Bread

When you're looking for something quick, easy, and delicious to prepare for a treat or for breakfast, quick banana bread is one of the easiest to please most people. Because quick bread doesn't require yeast, instead use some other leavener, such as baking powder or baking soda, and you don't have to wait for the bread to rise so that you can make this bread very much any time of the day. Also, this is one of the recipes that the beginner cook, such as me, should try without fear of failing or discouragement.
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
4 oz apple sauce
1/3 cup oil or margarine
1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
1/4 cup chopped walnuts optional)

Directions:
Pre heat oven at 350°, butter a 10 x 5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
In a medium-size mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside.
In another mixing bowl whisk egg, sugar, apple sauce and oil together.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until they just combine. Do not over mix it.
Pour batter into the prepared pan, and bake in the oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Serve warm
