I finally (after many attempts) have found a wonderful banana bread recipe that is moist, healthy and even the crust tastes good! I use Smart Balance as the margarine and powdered Egg Replacers for the eggs, and it's really fantastic. This recipe makes 3 loaves, but you can halve it if you have fewer bananas. Ingredients:
3 cups white sugar |
1 cup melted margarine (try to get the no-trans-fat kind) |
6 overripe bananas, mashed |
4 eggs (or egg replacements) |
2/3 cup skim milk |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
6 cups flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 cup nuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. Mix sugar, margarine and bananas together with a mixer.
2. Add eggs, milk and vanilla and mix.
3. Add dry ingredients and nuts (optional) and mix either by hand or with a mixer until well blended.
4. Pour into 3 greased and floured bread loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes (or until a knife comes out clean).
5. I've also made this recipe in 2 loaf pans and an 8x8 pan and it works just fine - just check the 8x8 pan after 45 minutes or so.
