Applesauce Banana Bars

Ran out of applesauce so used a banana to supplement. Based on a recipe from allrecipes.com.  They came out a little too sweet for my taste, so I would reduce the sugar next time - maybe by half. 4 stars for how quick it was to throw together, only 3 stars for taste.

• 1/4 c butter, softened
• 2/3 c brown sugar (reduce this next time, maybe in half?)
• 1 egg
• 1/2 c applesauce
• 1 banana, mashed
• 1 c flour
• 1 t soda
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/2 t cinnamon
• 1/4 t nutmeg
• 1/4 t ginger
• 1/8 t cloves

1. Grease a 9x13 baking dish. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Mix the butter, sugar and egg until smooth. Add the applesauce.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, soda, salt and spices. Stir into the wet mixture.
4. Spread evenly in pan.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are golden. 
6. Cool in pan. Cut into squares/rectangles.
