👩‍🍳 STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🥣 PREPARATION PHASE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 🔥
2️⃣ Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with coconut oil. 📋
3️⃣ Peel your brown bananas and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. 🍌
4️⃣ Measure all your ingredients before you start (this makes everything easier). 📏

💡 Pro tip: The browner your bananas, the sweeter and more moist your banana bread will be.
Do not use green or yellow bananas for this recipe.
You want those spotted, almost-black bananas for the best banana bread recipe results.

🥄 MIXING PHASE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

5️⃣ In your large bowl with mashed bananas, add the melted coconut oil. 🥥
6️⃣ Stir in the brown sugar until well combined. 🍯
7️⃣ Crack in the egg and mix until smooth. 🥚
8️⃣ Add the unsweetened applesauce and stir gently. 🍎

9️⃣ In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. 🌾
🔟 Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. 🥣
1️⃣1️⃣ Fold everything together until just combined (do not overmix). 🔄
1️⃣2️⃣ Gently fold in the chopped walnuts. 🥜

💡 Why fold instead of stir?
Overmixing makes banana bread tough instead of tender.
You want a fluffy banana bread recipe result, not a dense brick.

🍞 BAKING PHASE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

1️⃣3️⃣ Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. 📋
1️⃣4️⃣ Smooth the top with a spatula. 🥄
1️⃣5️⃣ Sprinkle extra walnuts on top if you like (optional but pretty). 🥜
1️⃣6️⃣ Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. ⏱️

1️⃣7️⃣ Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes. ❄️
1️⃣8️⃣ Remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack. 🍞
1️⃣9️⃣ Slice and enjoy! 😋

💡 How do you know when it is done?
The top should be golden brown, and the bread should pull away slightly from the pan edges.
If you press gently on top, it should spring back.
