Low Fat Moist Banana Nut Bread

Flexible, Quick & Easy, Healthy Banana Bread Recipe

Easy banana nut bread recipe, great for breakfast or brunch, as a healthy snack or dessert, or with a light soup or salad.

Lots of banana makes this a moist banana bread recipe, and the nuts add a bit of crunch.

Our healthy low fat banana bread recipe can easily be doubled, or tripled, and it freezes well.

The general rule with quick breads is that you should have equal amounts wet and dry ingredients. You can mess with the ingredients in this banana bread recipe, and it'll work as long as you keep the basic proportions and method.

One medium loaf banana nut bread: This recipe calls for half the sugar and fat used in most banana bread recipes, and it's still sweet and moist. The spices in this recipe are a good complement to the bananas and nuts. For extra sweetness and chewiness, add chopped apricots.

The size of the bananas is the big variable in this banana bread recipe. Add a little more water if needed to make the wet-dry proportions approximately equal - the batter should be moist but not runny. For vegan banana nut bread, leave out the egg, and use vegetable oil - you don't need egg or any other binder with sticky ripe banana!

Banana Bread Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
• OR: 1 cup Unbl + 1/2 c. wh. wheat flour
• 3 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• 1 tsp ginger
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 3 over-ripe bananas (should equal at least 1 1/2 cup of mashed banana)
• 1/4 c unbleached cane sugar
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• Optional: 1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
• Vegan Version:
• 2 Tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsp lemon juice + 2 Tbsp water
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• Vegetarian Version:
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 2 eggs
• Gluten Free Version:
• Use 1 c rice flour, 1/3 cup tapioca flour, and 2 Tbsp corn starch in place of the wheat flour

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
2. Oil a medium size bread pan
3. Chop & measure the walnuts
4. Measure & mix the dry ingredients except for sugar
5. Add the chopped nuts
6. Mix the wet ingredients, including the banana, plus the sugar. Use a blender, blender stick or food processor. If you don't have one of those, mash the bananas, then whisk in the other wet ingredients and optional chopped dried apricots
7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix lightly with just a few strokes
8. Spoon the mixture evenly into the oiled pan
9. Bake for 45 min, middle of the oven, until browned & firm to the touch
10. Cool on a rack in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out to finish cooling
11. Cool for at least half an hour before slicing. Banana bread tastes better completely cooled, if you can wait that long!
