Fantastic Low Fat Banana Bread Recipes

SKINNY BANANA BREAD (LOW SUGAR + LOW FAT)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prep a loaf pan (9x5 or 8x4) by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
• 2. In a medium bowl add bananas and use a fork to mash well.
• 3. Add egg, vanilla, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir well.
• 4. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
• 5. Add dry ingredients into the wet slowly as you stir. Before the two are incorporated add in melted butter. Stir just until barely combined, DO NOT OVER MIX.
• 6. Pour into pan and bake for 30-45 minutes or until an inserted knife or toothpick comes out clean.
• 7. Serve warn or cooled. As with any banana bread/cake, it always tastes better the next day! Store in an airtight container.

ULTRA-MOIST HEALTHY BANANA BREAD (MADE WITH OLIVE OIL)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to generously grease the bottom and sides of a loaf pan. It's OK if some pools at the bottom.
• In a large bowl, mix the remaining olive oil (just under 1/2 cup) with the brown sugar (1/2 cup).
• Add the eggs and mix for about 1 minute.
• Add the bananas (see notes) and mix together.
• Stir in the baking soda, kosher salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon of each).
• Stir in the whole wheat flour (1/2 cup) and the all-purpose flour (1 cup) until just incorporated and no dry spots remain.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
• Allow to cool in pan for at least 10 minutes. It should pop right out if you flip the pan upside-down, but if you need to give it a boost you can run a knife along the sides before flipping it over.
• Cut the banana bread into 10 slices. I recommend serving it warm with salted butter spread on top.

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.

LOWER FAT BANANA BREAD I

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.
