How to Make Banana Bread Low Fat High Fiber

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional).
  3. In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, and 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1/4 cup flaxseed meal, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
  7. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
