Banana Bread

Source of Recipe

Unkown
Makes 1 large loaf... (16 slices)

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unpacked brown sugar
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3 egg whites
2 tbsp. stick margarine, melted
3/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups mashed bananas (ripe!)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preheat oven to 325 F. Combine flours and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Set aside. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites, butter, yogurt, and vanilla with a whisk until smooth. Add bananas and whisk again. Add banana mixture to flour mixture. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in walnuts.

Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray. Pour batter into pan. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan and let cool.

Hint: Make sure you use a large loaf pan (9 x 5-inch, 2 qt.) to make this banana bread. If you use a smaller pan (8 x 4-inch, 1 1/2 qt.), the outside of the bread will burn before the inside is cooked.
