List of Ingredients




1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Dash salt
2 tsp ground allspice*
3 ripe bananas, chopped or mashed*
2/3 cups brown sugar
1 tbsp butter*
3 tbsp applesauce
1/2 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup reduced fat mini or regular chocolate chips

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a non-stick loaf pan with cooking spray*.

Combine dry ingredients in a bowl:
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
Dash salt
2 tsp ground allspice*

Combine and cream in the mixer until well blended:
3 ripe bananas, chopped or mashed*
2/3 cups brown sugar
1 tbsp butter*
3 tbsp applesauce


Add 1/2 cup egg substitute* and blend for 1 minute. Add dry ingredients and blend just until mixed. Stir in chocolate chips *. Pour into sprayed loaf pan* and bake 50 minutes, or until pick inserted in center comes out clean.

NOW FOR MY VERSION LOL

I use 2 egg whites and enough milk, water, soy milk, yogurt, or juice to make 1/2 cup instead of egg substitute. I use diet margarine instead of butter, and 1 tsp really good cinnamon instead of the 2 tsp ground allspice. And I have NEVER put in the chocolate chips LOL. Also, I bake it in a round cake layer pan or a square pyrex dish rather than a loaf pan. I still cut it like a quickbread, but I don't like the dense texture of quickbreads when baked in a loaf. To make variations:

-1 medium zucchini, grated, plus an extra spoon of applesauce instead of the banana to make zucchini bread

-3 small apples peeled and grated or chopped instead of the banana to make apple bread. Or use 1 cup plus the 3 tbsp applesauce. I sometimes use a mix of cinnamon, cloves, and allspice in this one.

-1 cup blueberries and 1 small apple, peeled and grated instead of the banana. I also add up to a tsp of grated lemon peel to this one.

-1 cup of chopped raw cranberries (not one cup whole then chopped up, but a cups worth of the chopped ones), the sections of an orange roughly chopped (cut the peel and pith away, use a knife to liberate each segment without getting any membrane, and remove seeds), 1 tsp grated orange peel instead of the banana. Use 2 egg whites and enough orange juice concentrate to make 1/2 cup.
