How to Make Blueberry Banana Bread Lower Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or oil), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 large eggs, and 1/2 cup milk.
  4. Mash 3 ripe bananas and stir them into the wet ingredients.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional), and 1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional).
  7. Pour batter evenly into the prepared loaf pans.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
