Weekend baking: banana bread
Below is one of the added sugar-less recipes for those, who are ready to sacrifice their sweet tooth.
This banana bread is excellent to pack for your work lunch.
To my "workday menu", I would add a few slices of cheddar cheese, apples and carrots.
In addition to being free of added sugar, the bread is rich in fiber! And by the way, it would taste sweet along with a cup of black coffee.
Banana bread
Ingredients
1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
3 eggs
½ cup unsweetened apple sauce
¼ cup yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup of chopped walnuts
½ cup raisins
Directions
Combine the flour and baking soda. Beat together the eggs, apple sauce, yogurt and vanilla. Incorporate by mixing the mashed bananas, flour mix, walnuts and raisins. Transfer to a pan sprayed with PAM, and bake at 325°F for 50 minutes (or until a knife inserted in the bread comes out clean).
