Low-Fat Banana Bread

Recipe #52206 | 55 min | 5 min prep | add private note

When I substituted some of the butter with applesauce in a previous recipe, it actually made the bread more moist. I put one loaf in the freezer, but had to take it out within 24 hours because the first was devoured!

SERVES 12 -16 , 2 loaves (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Mash bananas in a bowl.
  2. 2
    Add all other ingredients and mix well.
  3. 3
    Pour into 2 greased loaf pans (or you can pour it all into one, but it rises enough that you can split it in half).
  4. 4
    Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.

Very good! I made a few changes. I used whole wheat flour, splenda brown sugar blend, 4 tablespoons applesauce and no oil, added a little flax meal, cinnamon, walnuts and vanilla extract. They came out great, very moist and healthy too!

    This bread turned out beautifully! Extremely moist, I thought the sweetness was perfect. I followed the directions and made one loaf. I didn't tell my boyfriend it was lowfat until it was halfway gone. He never guessed!

    These are delightful! I used all unsweetened applesauce, no butter. I did use the full cup of sugar, and will probably decrease that to 3/4 cup, because it was very sweet. I made 12 very good-sized muffins out of this recipe. They baked about 15 minutes. According to ww recipe builder, with the substitutions noted, each muffin is 3 points. Very good, and I will definitely make them again! Amended: These loaves freeze well. No difference in taste or texture. Also, when doubling, I got four very skimpy loaves, so next time will only make three. I liked the richer taste of half white, half brown sugar. Still a bit to sweet, I will reduce the sugar further next time. This is THE banana bread recipe for me!

    Great recipe! I snuck in a few extra healthy options and the kids love it. I used 1c flour and 1/2c rolled oats (next time I think I will go 3/4c of each). I added 3T of Wheat Germ. 3/4c sugar rather than 1c. And all applesauce = 4T (no butter). I also added 1/2c dried fruit (1/4c cranberries and 1/4c raisins). The kids have no idea that it is a healthy snack.
