How to Make Low Fat Banana Bread Remake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Mash 3 ripe bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
  3. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce, 1/4 cup milk (any kind), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey to the mashed bananas. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups whole rolled oats, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional) and 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional).
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
