No Sugar Added Banana Bread Recipes

HEALTHY NO ADDED SUGAR BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Set oven to 325F and lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or 3 mini loaf pans.
• In a large bowl, combine the bananas, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix with a whisk until well combined. If you have a food scale, you can skip the mashing! Weigh your bananas, then combine with the wet ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth.
• Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and any mix-ins; stir just until combined. Pour batter into your prepared loaf pan(s).
• Bake for 60 to 75 minutes for a large loaf (35-40 minutes for mini loaves) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean. Allow the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack and let it cool another 15-20 minutes before slicing.

NO SUGAR ADDED BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Spray 5x9 loaf-pan with nonstick spray and coat bottom with parchment paper.
• Mix splenda, applesauce, egg-whites, and yogurt until completely blended.
• Add mashed banana, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
• Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in separate bowl.
• Slowly add dry ingredients to wet, and stir just until blended.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. (Being a little on the under-cooked side, is better than overcooking.).
• Cool for 5 minutes in the loaf pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

SUGAR-FREE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Grown ups: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease and line a 450g loaf/1lb tin with baking parchment.
• Children: Weigh the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sultanas into a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Then weigh the butter, vanilla essence, egg, milk and mashed bananas and put into another bowl or jug and mix with a small balloon whisk or fork. Pour the 'wet' banana mixture into the 'dry' flour mixture and combine thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Weighing needs to be very accurate when baking so help older children to measure carefully. Younger children can also get involved by spooning or pouring into the scales with adult supervision. Younger children can also beat the egg with a fork and mash the banana with a potato masher.
• Grown ups: Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 - 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins then turn out.
• Children: Drizzle with agave syrup if using.
