i came up with this recipe when i was on weight watchers. it is only 4 pts per serving, which for Banana Bread is low. and, it is so good, you won't believe that it is actually healthy! Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter (softened) |
3/4 cup brown sugar |
1 large egg |
1 egg white |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
4 bananas (medium, overripe) |
1/3 cup applesauce (no sugar added) |
1/3 cup mini chocolate chip |
Directions:
1. set oven to 350 degrees.
2. combine dry ingredients.
3. in separate bowl cream together softened butter, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
4. mash bananas well with fork. stir applesauce into mashed bananas. stir this mixture into creamed butter mixture.
5. add flour mixture to banana mixture until well moistened. at this point i often let the batter sit for about 20 minutes in a warm area. this increases the yummy banana flavor!
6. stir in chocolate chips.
7. spray a bundt pan with cooking spray and lightly flour (loaf pan works also, but i definitely prefer a bundt pan, the bread cooks faster and more evenly). pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean, loaf pan takes 60-65 minutes.
