When I substituted some of the butter with applesauce in a previous recipe, it actually made the bread more moist. I put one loaf in the freezer, but had to take it out within 24 hours because the first was devoured!

FANTASTIC LOW-FAT BANANA BREAD



Fantastic Low-Fat Banana Bread image

You will not even notice that this is a low fat recipe, it is that good! One loaf yields 24 slices with 60 calories each and 1 gram of fat for every slice. Add in chopped nuts if desired but that will increase the the calories. Make a fat-free glaze using 1/2 cup powdered sugar mixed with 2-4 teaspoons fat-free milk then drizzle over warm bread. The batter can also be baked in four 4 x 2-inch mini loaf pans, for 30-35 minutes, these freeze very well! 2 eggs can be replaced with the egg substitute.

2 eggs
⅔ cup white sugar
2 very ripe bananas, mashed
¼ cup applesauce
⅓ cup nonfat milk
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can also use overripe bananas that have brown spots on the skin.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense banana bread. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. This will allow the banana bread to rise properly and prevent it from overflowing.
  • Bake the banana bread at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the bread to firm up.

Conclusion:
