Banana Bread with honey and applesauce instead of sugar & oil. Delicious & Healthy

I made this last year and it was awful. When it came out of the oven, it looked like a brick and my kids made a face. It was unpleasantly soft on the inside. I tried the recipe again today and followed the advice of other reviewers by adding 1 t vanilla, doing a combo (half c and half c) of brown and regular sugar, using less banana, adding 1/2 t nutmeg, 1/2 t cinammon, and 1 t baking powder, and cutting the temp to 300 degrees. Then I baked it for 65 mins and it came out perfectly, ten times better than the original recipe. The original recipe just has too many bananas and not enough flavor.
