I had lots of bananas sitting on my counter top.I wanted to bake banana bread,but a healthier and guilt-free version.So when i was searching for a low fat banana bread recipe,I stumbled upon this recipe in about.com.It had no butter,and the amount of sugar used is almost half compared to other recipes and best of all whole wheat flour is substituted for half of all purpose flour.
Ingredients:
All purpose flour - 1 cup
Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
Baking soda - 3/4 tsp
Salt-a pinch
brown sugar-1/2 cup packed firmly
Corn/Canola oil - 1/4 cup
Vanilla essence -1 tsp
Buttermilk - 1/2 cup
(I made my own butter milk by mixing 1/2 cup of milk with 1 1/2 TBSP of lemon and allowed it to stand for 5 minutes.Then it can be used in the place of regular butter milk)
Bananas - 2 mashed
Egg - 1 at room temperature
Method:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8 1/2 inch x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk flour, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in brown sugar.
In a medium bowl, combine oil, egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract. Add
these ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir in mashed bananas.
Pour batter into the loaf pan and bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes, until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean.
Healthy n filling bread! Looks yum!

ReplyDeleteBanana bread is easily my guiltiest pleasure, but I'm always shy about the amount of fat it contains. I'm looking forward to baking a loaf of this great recipe now :) - Cathy Pieroz at Ray White Alexandra Hills
