This is the best Banana Nut Bread I have ever had and it is healthy for you. I used my Bread Maker but next time I am going to try and just bake it in a loaf pan. I am also going to try and use a little bit less sugar. I also used a unbleached white/multi-grain flour which I purchased at Costco. This recipe was adapted from another recipe on Recipezaar to be healthier. It is a good basic recipe that you can alter to create your own.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup wheat flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup applesauce (any kind)
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup vanilla yogurt (i used yoplait low fat)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup mashed banana (about 2 or 3 depending on size)
1/3 cup walnuts, finely chopped (or you can use pecans)
Directions:
1. Into baking pan measure flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, salt and cinnamon.
2. Add applesauce, eggs, yogurt, mashed bananas, vanilla and nuts.
3. Insert pan securely into unit; close lid.
4. Select Quick Bread Cycle setting (mine has an 85 minute cycle); press Start.
5. The Complete light will flash when bread is done.
6. Using hotpads, remove pan from unit and remove bread from pan.
7. Let cool for 10 minutes.
