Some recipes even use no added sugar, relying on the natural sweetness of the bananas to flavor the bread.

This is the best healthy banana bread ever. Wrap it in foil and eat the next day for the best results. You can replace the banana with shredded zucchini or carrots if banana isn't your favorite with equally good results. You can leave the wheat bran and wheat germ out without compromising the recipe as well, I just sneak in good stuff for my family. Enjoy!

FAT FREE (ALMOST!) BANANA BREAD



Fat Free (Almost!) Banana Bread image

I know, I know, this site certainly doesn't need another banana bread recipe...but this is truly a wonderful, moist, nearly fat-free loaf. There's just the fat in the eggs, and you could probably substitute Egg-Beaters (although I've never tried it). Even my "why do we have to eat healthy" family love it....and they all swear to hate any baked goods made with whole wheat flour!

Time 1h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

⅔ cup white sugar
¼ cup margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas
¼ cup water
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray one 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the white sugar and margarine or butter until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, water and bananas with the sugar mixture until it is well blended.
  • Mix in the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder just until the mixture is moistened. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to blend all ingredients.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degree C) for about 60 minutes. Bread is done when the top is firm to the touch and a golden brown color. Time will vary according to loaf size and oven type. When bread is removed from oven, allow it to cool on it's side for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool on a rack. This bread is also excellent if you add mini chocolate chips or small fruit pieces to the mix just before baking.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is properly greased and floured: This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the bread at the correct temperature: The bread should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Almost No-Fat Banana Bread is a delicious, healthier alternative to traditional banana bread. It is made with whole wheat flour, applesauce, and honey instead of butter and oil. It is also low in fat and calories. This bread is a great way to enjoy a sweet treat without feeling guilty.
