Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, mash 2 large bananas and 2 small bananas until smooth.

Add 3 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce to the mashed bananas.

Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1 egg to the mixture and mix well.

If banana chunks are too big, mash them down further.

Add 1.5 cups of self-rising flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the mixture.

Add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of white sugar, then mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix.

Add 1/4 cup of chopped pecans to the batter and mix gently.

Grease a regular-sized loaf pan and pour the batter into it, leveling it out as much as possible.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, checking at the 45-minute mark for doneness with a toothpick.

If making muffins instead, bake for about 30 minutes and check for doneness with a toothpick.

Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
