Healthy Banana Bread, Take 2

Well well well. Who knew my banana bread recipe here could get healthier?

With a couple of small changes, this recipe cuts out the refined sugar and adds a little bit more protein.

1. 1 1/2 cups sifted whole wheat flour
2. 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4. 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
5. 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6. 3 medium, ripe (turning brown) bananas, mashed
7. 1/4 cup egg substitute
8. 1/4 cup + 1/8 cup agave nectar
9. 1/4 cup all natural unsweetened applesauce
10. 1 tbsp all natural smooth peanut butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8x4x2 loaf pan.

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon).
• In a smaller mixing bowl, combine the next four ingredients (bananas, egg, agave nectar, applesauce, peanut butter).
• In the dry ingredient bowl, make a well in the center.
• Pour the wet ingredients all at once into the well.
• Combine ingredients til dry is now wet like a batter. The batter will be lumpy. Do not over mix.
• Place batter in greased loaf pan.
• Place in oven for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick (or slender picking type object of your choice) comes out clean when you insert it in the center of the bread.
• Let cool completely on wire rack (pop it out of pan)
• Wrap it in plastic wrap for about 24 hours (if you can wait that long) before cutting into it.
• Serves 8 slices
