Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar or sugar substitute-sugar blend equivalent to 2/3 cup sugar*
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup fat-free dairy sour cream
1/4 cup fat-free milk
1/4 cup refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons cooking oil
2/3 cup mashed banana (about 2 medium bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, stir together all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, milk, egg, and oil. Stir in mashed banana and vanilla. Add sour cream mixture all at once to flour mixture; stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in chopped cherries, walnuts, and chocolate chips. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries will give your bread the best flavor. If you don't have fresh cherries, you can use frozen or dried cherries, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked all the way through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape.
