Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients
2 cups very ripe bananas (4-5 bananas)
1/2 cup applesauce

Summer Squash Quick Bread

Modified Recipe 1 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour 1/2 Cup Sugar 1/2 Cup applesauce 1 1/2 Cup Grated Summer Squash 1 Large Egg 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg 1/2 Teaspoon Salt 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder 1/8 Cup Raw Oats Preheat oven to 325F and grease one 8"x4" loaf pan. Combine Sugar, Egg, Vegetable Oil, Salt, Grated Squash, Cinnamon and Nutmeg into a large bowl. With a fork, cream the ingredients until they are well incorporated. On top of the wet ingredients, sift flour and baking powder. Again, stir well until the mixture has formed a bread batter. Pour the squash bread mixture into the greased loaf pan. Smack the bottom of the pan against the counter a couple of times. This will release any air bubbles in the mixture. Sprinkle the top with oats and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a sharp knife can be inserted into the middle of the bread and removed cleanly. Cool on a baking rack for at least a half hour before cutting.
