Lower Fat Banana Nut Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray one 9x5x3 inch loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
• In a medium bowl, beat the white sugar and margarine or butter until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, water and bananas with the sugar mixture until it is well blended.
• Mix in the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder just until the mixture is moistened. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to blend all ingredients.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degree C) for about 60 minutes. Bread is done when the top is firm to the touch and a golden brown color. Time will vary according to loaf size and oven type. When bread is removed from oven, allow it to cool on it's side for 10 minutes, then remove from pan and let cool on a rack. This bread is also excellent if you add mini chocolate chips or small fruit pieces to the mix just before baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly spray two 8x4x2 inch loaf pans with a non-stick cooking spray.
• Combine the fat free sour cream, egg whites, vanilla, bananas and margarine and mix on medium speed of electric mixer until smooth, creamy and well blended.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and light brown sugar into the banana mixture. Stir with a spoon until combined. Add more flour if necessary until a thick and rather resistant dough is formed. Fold in the optional nuts and raisins. Mix for 1 minute on the low speed of an electric mixer. Divide dough evenly between the two loaf pans.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) until golden and the center tests done. Remove breads from pans immediately and allow to cool on a rack before slicing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Add egg whites, bananas and applesauce; stir just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 F
• Seperate your eggs into two bowls. Add your salt to the egg whites and beat until you get stiff peaks, set aside.
• Add your sugar, and banana mush into the bowl with your egg yolks, mix well until sugar is dissolved. Put in your vanilla extract, mix slightly. Shift in your flour and baking soda. Mix well until the flour is no longer visible.
• Fold in your whipped egg whites gently, it does not have to be completely mixed. Do not over mix!
• Lastly quickly fold in your chopped walnuts (or any other nut you like).
