This recipe is VERY figure friendly. It uses wheat flour and bananas and very little sugar, so it's also a great snack for kids. My son loves to eat it with Cool Whip. I use Homemade Gourmet Spice Dip Mix with my Cool Whip and spread it over a slice of this bread. But if you can't get the HOGO stuff from a dealer near you, a little cinnamon and allspice mixed into your Cool Whip makes a great dip or spread.
Spend the day baking some bread with this recipe for Healthy Banana Bread.
4-5 very ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup sugar free spiced unsweetened applesauce
2 eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose white flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2/3 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray, set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the dry ingredients, whisking to combine. Add the chocolate chips and nuts if using.
Beat the eggs with the sugar together at medium-high speed until creamy. Beat in the applesauce and bananas.
Fold in the dry ingredients.
Pour into the prepared pan and place it in the oven. Once the oven door is closed, reduce the heat so it’s between 325-350 degrees. Bake for about 35-40 minutes (the cake is done as soon as a tester comes out clean). Cool on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Invert on the rack, remove the pan, cool and store in an airtight container.
***LEFTOVER ALERT***
I like to take slices of this and use it to make french toast. It gives it a lovely flavor from regular french toast, and is sweet enough that I don't have to use much syrup (or can top with with Cool Whip instead). Can you tell I like Cool Whip? haha
