Very Low Fat Banana Bread

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour (I used whole wheat)

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/4 t baking powder

1/2 t baking soda

1/4 t salt

1/2 t cinnamon

1 egg (or 2 egg whites)

1 t vanilla

1 cup banana, mashed

1/3 cup apple sauce

1/4 cup chopped nuts, optional

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. In separate bowl mix egg, vanilla, bananas and applesauce. Add to dry ingredients and stir just till combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean. Turn out onto wire rack and allow to cool before slicing.

Tip: Use very ripe bananas, the riper the bananas the better the bread will be. When I made it unfortunately my bananas were not ripe enough.
