Banana Bread
By Sophie Pachella
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1⁄2 cup apple sauce
- 1 (8 ounce) package low fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar / 1/2 cup sugar substitute (note – you can double the amount of sugar and not use substitute if preferred)
- 1 4 ounce carton egg replacement (or 4 egg whites)
- 2 large bananas mashed (very ripe is best)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups 100% whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or nutmeg (optional)
- 1⁄4 cup crushed walnuts (optional)
Preparation:
Mix the oil, apple sauce and cream cheese together in a blender. Gradually add the sugar & sugar substitute, and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs and bananas and vanilla. Transfer to a bowl. Add flour, baking powder, and soda;& cinnamon, then mix until batter is just moist. Sprinkle walnuts on top (if using). Pour batter into loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes, or until an inserted finger comes out clean — just kidding, use a knife.
