Low Fat Banana Bread

Total Time: 1 hr 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 3 very ripe bananas (using medium sized bananas)
• 4 eggs
• 1/3 cup nonfat milk
• 1/3 cup plain yogurt
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 teaspoons baking powder (bread ~doubles in height while baking)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 3/4 cups flour (i use half whole-wheat & half )
• 1 3/4 cups oats
• 3/4 cup smashed almonds (i've always used almonds or pecans, pounded with a hammer until they are like rough ground pepper)
• 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds

Recipe

• 1 mix wet ingredients together in blender, adding oats & nuts gradually.
• 2 mix wet mixture into dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• 3 stir batter only enough to completely mix ingredients; don't over mix which will toughen the bread.
• 4 pour batter into greased pans (sprinkled with granulated sugar if you want a crunchy sweet crust) and bake at 350 for 45 minutes-1 hour-do the knife test to check doneness or until the middle of the loaf is set, being careful not to burn the top and bottom of the loaf.
• 5 bread will continue to cook in the middle after you take it out of the oven.
