This is a recipe that I modified for fewer calories, but it still tastes great! I use Egg Beaters b/c they are fat & cholesterol free and have less than 1/2 the calories of an egg. Also, because I use 1/2 the sugar (originally called for 1 c), the riper the bananas the better, I wait until they are too ripe to eat. 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) |
1 teaspoon vanilla (stirred into banana mixture) (optional) |
nuts (stirred in after sugar) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mash together softened butter, bananas and eggs.
3. In measuring cup, mix flour, salt and baking soda, then stir into banana mixture.
4. Mix in sugar.
5. Pour batter into a 9-inch loaf pan or two loaf pans (sometimes I grease it, sometimes I don't!).
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.
