Quick and Easy Low Fat Banana Bread Recipe





If you are looking for healthier version to the classic banana bread, then this low fat banana bread recipe makes a delicious and simple alternative.

This recipe replaces butter with vegetable oil, which reduces a significant amount of saturated fat in the banana bread - without compromising on the full flavor of the quick bread. Other healthy ingredients include the use of whole wheat flour, brown sugar and low fat yogurt.

Simple to make, this recipe does not require the use of an electric mixer. All you need is a mixing bowl and a wooden spoon to combine and mix the ingredients.

Servings: 1 loaf
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Bake time: 1 hour

Comments:
Use soft, very ripe bananas and mash with fork. Try not to liquidize bananas in food processor or they will add to much moisture to the batter.

Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup low fat yogurt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Pinch of salt

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine mashed bananas with oil.
3. Add in eggs, yogurt, vanilla and mix.
4. Add in sugar, baking powder and salt, and mix.
5. Add flour last and mix well.
6. Pour mixture into a greased and floured bread loaf pan.
7. Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick comes out clean.
8. Allow to cool before removing from pan.

Reviews

My 9 yrs old son Keith and I made this recipe one Sunday after before dinner. Of course we had to add the chocolate chips. I was a little hesitant to add the brown sugar rather than the white....but we LOVED IT.....what a great dessert for after dinner! - Takisha & Keith, US
