HEALTHY BANANA BREAD
Steps:
- Grease a standard 9x5'' loaf pan (I also like to line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to make sure the loaf doesn't stick).
- Mash bananas in a mixing bowl. Add egg, vanilla, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon and stir well to combine.
- In a separate small bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to banana mixture and stir to combine.
- Gently stir in melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 few minutes before inverting onto a wire cooling rack.

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD
Steps:
- Place the rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- Mash the bananas in the bottom of a large bowl until mostly smooth.
- Whisk in the egg, then the yogurt and oil.
- Whisk in the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla. Sprinkle the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt over the top, then stir until combined.
- Gently stir in the flour until barely combined, then fold in any mix-ins.
- Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check at the 35-minute mark and tent with foil if the bread is browning too quickly at the corners. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Remove from pan and place on rack to finish cooling completely (for neat slicing), or enjoy warm and don't worry if the slices are messy.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray 2 loaf pans with non-stick spray.
- Mash bananas.
- Combine sugar, oil and egg--mixing until creamy.
- Blend in mashed bananas.
- In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ground flax seed, salt, baking soda. (Add the nuts to the dry ingredients at this point). Combine wet and dry ingredients, but do not overmix.
- Pour batter into loaf pans and bake approximately 1 hour-testing with a toothpick at the hour, and then as needed.
- Note: Because the batter is dense you will need to watch the baking time to be sure it is adequate--don't only go by color, flax seed will add darkness.
HEALTHIER BANANA SOUR CREAM BREAD
Esther is right! The sour cream makes this one so moist it melts in your mouth. I make it healthier by using light sour cream, whole wheat flour and less sugar and butter --and you know what? No one can tell the difference!

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can also use overripe bananas, just be sure to mash them well before adding them to the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the banana bread at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the bread from drying out.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
- Store the banana bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the banana bread for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
This healthier banana bread recipe is a great way to enjoy this classic treat without all the guilt. It's lower in fat, sugar, and calories than traditional banana bread, and it's also a good source of fiber. So next time you're craving banana bread, give this healthier version a try.
