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.

MAKEOVER BANANA NUT BREAD
This slimmed-down banana bread with applesauce is one of our favorite ways to make banana bread. On top of swapping out the butter, the amount of sugar is also decreased, too, by adding a little honey and using more banana. No one will ever guess this bread is low in fat! -Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

LOW FAT BANANA NUT BREAD
I have made a wonderful Hawaiian Banana Nut Bread for years and it's always moist and delicious, but it's full of fat. We found that my husband really needed to change his diet to lower his fat intake, but he loves good food. So I have set out to try and change some of his favorite recipes to fit his new diet requirements. This is one of the first and it was a success.

- Lastly quickly fold in your chopped walnuts (or any other nut you like).
- Grease you pans and pour in your mix. A 9X5 loaf pan or 24 muffin tins filled half full work best.
- Bake @ 350. Muffins take 45-55 minutes, loaf pan takes 60-75 minutes. Your banana bread is done when a toothpick can be inserted and comes out relatively clean, a little stickyness is okay!

Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly: This will help to create a smooth and even batter.
- Use a combination of flours: All-purpose flour and whole wheat flour provide a good balance of texture and flavor.
- Add nuts and spices: Walnuts, pecans, or chopped almonds add a nice crunch and flavor to banana nut bread. You can also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger for a warm and inviting flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the bread from over-browning and drying out.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
