Low Fat Banana Bread Recipe

Ingredients

1 egg

1/4 cup liquid egg substitute

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce

4 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed

1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup raisins

Method

Beat the eggs and the brown sugar together until foamy and the sugar is

somewhat dissolved. Stir in the applesauce, bananas and buttermilk mixing

well between each addition. Sift the dry ingredients together and stir into

the liquids along with the raisins. Spray a 9" loaf pan with nonstick spray

and spoon in the batter, smoothing the top out with a spatula. Bake on the

middle rack of a preheated oven until deep golden, the center bounces back

to your touch and a skewer comes out clean (or with crumbs) rather than wet.

Check the bread after 45 minutes but it will usually take at least one hour.
