Better-for-you Banana Bread

Recipes

Happy Wednesday! I’m still doing some maintenance but I’m hoping you won’t notice a thing.  Hopefully by the end of the week I will be migrated to the more flexible WordPress.org.

Anyway, this is my final muffin post… for now. My sister tipped me off to a better-for-you new twist in our banana bread recipe.  I won’t call it “healthy” because I’m not counting the calories and carbs (it’s the politically correct PR person in me), but by replacing the butter with applesauce, the bread stays just as moist and I think it’s a little more sweet.  I baked it into some muffins tins so that it was easy to pack them for an easy work breakfast.

Better-for-You Banana Bread 
(or muffins)

  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. apple sauce
  • 3 – 4 bananas, mashed
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine sugar, eggs, vanilla, and apple sauce.  Mix well and add mashed bananas.

Sift together flour, soda, and salt.  Add to wet mixture.

Place in greased loaf pan or muffin tins. Bake at 350 for 55 minutes (about 30 minutes for muffins) or until toothpick comes out clean.
