Lite (But Yummy!) Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 3 very ripe bananas
• 1/2 cup Egg Beaters egg substitute (or 2 eggs)
• 1/2 cup light butter, softened
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup sugar (I use organic cane sugar, but white granulated is fine, too)

Optional

• 1 teaspoon vanilla (stirred into banana mixture) (optional)
• nuts (stirred in after sugar) (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Mash together softened butter, bananas and eggs.

3. 3

   In measuring cup, mix flour, salt and baking soda, then stir into banana mixture.

4. 4

   Mix in sugar.

5. 5

   Pour batter into a 9-inch loaf pan or two loaf pans (sometimes I grease it, sometimes I don't!).

6. 6

   Bake for 45 minutes. If a toothpick inserted in the "broken" part of the loaf doesn't come out clean, cover w/ tin foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
