Healthy Banana Bread

I found this banana bread recipe on Spark Recipes and modified it just a tiny bit to make it more to my liking. Most banana bread recipes only yield a teeny slice of bread per serving size. With this recipe, you get a big ol’ hunk of banana bread for only 158 calories.

Specifically, a serving size is 1/8 of a loaf made in a standard 9.5″x5″ bread pan, whereas most of the other recipes were only giving you a 1/12 of the loaf.

You could leave out the walnuts and take 25 calories off each slice, but they really make it a game changer!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I used bread flour because that’s what I had.)

  • 3/4 cup no-calorie sweetener (I prefer Swerve over all other sweeteners)

  • 3 mashed ripe bananas

  • 1/2 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute

  • 1/2 cup no-sugar-added applesauce

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  • Mix whole-wheat and all-purpose flour, no-calorie sweetener, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large mixing bowl.
  • Mash up your three ripe bananas in a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the egg substitute, applesauce and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed.
  • Add the banana mixture to the larger bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir until just blended. Stir in the walnuts or whatever else you want to add.
  • Spray a 9”x5” bread pan with nonstick spray and then pour in the batter.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees.
