I usually slice the whole loaf and freeze individual slices so I don't eat it all at once. The slices make a great pre- or post-run snack.
Enjoy!
Lower Fat Banana Bread
Recipe from Veganomicon
Ingredients
- 2 large or 3 small very ripe bananas.
- 1/4 cup applesauce
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or both (optional)
-
Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
-
In a large mixing
bowl, mash the bananas really, really well. Add the sugar, applesauce,
oil, and molasses, and whisk briskly to incorporate.
-
Sift in the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt. Use a wooden spoon to mix until the wet and dry ingredients are just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts of chocolate chips if using.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes. (Mine is pretty much always done at 45 minutes.) The top should be lightly browned and a knife inserted through the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and invert onto a cooling rack; flip the bread right side up and let cool.
