Bananna Bread

We had some banannas that had gotten a little ripe so I decided to use them up in bananna bread. I played with my recipe to make it a bit more figure friendly by cutting out the oil, reducing the sugar and using whole wheat flour.

2 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/3 c sugar
1/3 c brown sugar
3 ripe banannas smashed
1/3c milk
1 egg
1tsp vanilla
1tsp salt
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/3 c applesauce

(Please excuse the baking soda in the photo I didn't realize I had grabbed the wrong ingredient until I went to add it to the mixing bowl)

If you are not watcing your weight you can add 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips  my husband was very dissapointed to see they were missing this time) or 1/4 cup crushed walnuts.

Blend all ingredients together and pour into greased loaf pan. Bake ant 350 for 55-60 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes.

  4. I almost tossed 2 very brown bananas yesterday but thought I'd make banana bread with them instead. I never thought to add applesauce to banana bread. I bet that tastes awesome!!! Thanks!

  5. In the past I have used applesauce when I didn't have quite enough banannas but this time I used it to replace the oil!
