Healthy Banana Bread - Bread

danyell · 06-03-2009, 04:08 PM

Last night I was looking online for a healthier version of banana bread. I found one and tweaked it a bit and it turned out delicious! The applesauce subsitutues for the oil and splenda obviously takes the place of sugar. I have never baked with a sugar subsitute but it tasted truly delicious

Side Note: I used homemade cinnnamon applesauce sweetened with splenda. If you have unsweet, I suggest upping the Splenda to your taste, possibly from a third to a half, and adding some cinnamon for flavor. Would be GREAT with vanilla extract, also!

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups mashed banana
1/4 cup applesauce
1/3 cup splenda
2 beaten egg whites
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder

Mix dry ingredients together, mix wet together. Add wet to dry, mix with your muscles until incorporated (batter will be lumpy), dump in a very well greased pan and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.

Enjoy

Sounds yummy! Do you know what the nutritional information would be? ....Actually, I think I know of a site that can tell me, let me check it out

Well, the website I got it from said about 85 calories for a muffin but that seemed low to me. All I know is that by getting rid of the oil, sugar, and egg yolk it, if not cuts down the calories drastically, is generally healthier

how many muffins will that make though? for whomever calculated the amount, how many servings did you put

danyell · 10-08-2009, 03:49 PM

I'm sorry I wish I could tell you. I made a loaf, not muffins. For muffins it would probably make 6 regular sized. It has been a while since I made this!

I just made these, and calculated it on my sparkrecipes.com and got 71 calories per muffin, and thats for 16
