Warm Banana
Bread That Any Dieter Will Go Ape Over
Nothing
can compare to the smell of warm banana bread, piping
hot from the oven on a chilly day. Our low calorie,
low fat recipe is ultra easy, fool-proof (how else would
we have created it?) and yes - deliciously delightful
for dieters!
An added
benefit to this low calorie banana bread creation is
that the dieter enjoys a section of the Food Pyramid
- the healthy banana from the Fruit Group.
The following
recipe makes two small loaves that we baked in tiny
bread pans. Entire recipe contains about 500 calories.
If you're adding up how much you can enjoy - here
is some healthy food for thought. One-half of a loaf
amounts to a skinny 125 calories. Wow! Can
I please pile on a couple of spoons of lite whipped
topping with that?
Now for
the tasty, low fat, low calorie recipe for homemade
banana bread. Preheat oven to 350° and spray two
mini-baking pans with non-stick cooking spray. Place
the following ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl
and gently mix by hand until smooth:
1 mashed banana (please remove peeling before adding to
the bowl)
1 Tablespoon of Melted Butter or Margarine (we
used diet but regular will do for about 60 calories)
1 teaspoon of Rum Extract
1 cup of Splenda
Dash of Salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 large egg
2 Tablespoons of Skimmed Milk
-
- Add
the following dry ingredients to the bowl of
wet ingredients:
3/4 cup of White Flour
-
- Cook
about 20 minutes - or until golden brown.
FOODNOTES™:
For those who do not like using sugar substitute, double
the bananas and use 1/2 cup of real sugar. Another suggestion
for those limiting sugar substitute is to use half real
sugar and half sugar substitute.
Using the
base of this recipe, other delicious warm breads can
be created such as peach bread and strawberry bread.
What about warm lemon bread with a sexy glaze
and a dash of lemon zest on top?
Nuts may
also be added to the recipe but be sure to tally up
those extra calories.
Rum extract
can be substituted with vanilla extract OR almond extract.
