This was originally a reader recipe from Cooking Light magazine. I have tried many, many banana breads over the years (from healthy to unhealthy versions) and this remains my favorite. It's very easy to make and also freezes very well. Ingredients:
1 cup mashed ripe banana (approx. 2 medium) |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup vegetable oil (i use canola) |
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute or 1 large egg white |
1 large egg |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/4 teaspoons cream of tartar |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients (mashed banana through egg) in large bowl; beat with mixer at medium speed until smooth.
2. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup and level with knife.
3. Add rest of dry ingredients (cream of tartar, baking soda, salt) to flour and stir with a whisk to combine.
4. Add the dry mixture to banana mixture, stirring only until just moistened.
5. Spoon batter into 8x4 inch loaf pan that has been coated on bottom and 1/2 inch up sides with cooking spray.
6. Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until toothpick in center comes out clean.
7. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wirerack; then remove bread from pan and cool completely on rack.
