How to Make Low Fat Full Flavor Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Position oven rack in the middle.
- Place bananas on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until skins are completely black, about 20 minutes.
- Let bananas cool completely, then peel and mash with a potato masher until completely smooth.
- Measure out 1 ½ cups of mashed banana and discard any excess.
- Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix on medium-low speed with an electric mixer until just combined.
- Add ½ cup vegetable oil and 4 ounces cream cheese, one piece at a time, mixing until only pea-sized pieces of cream cheese remain (about 1 minute).
- Slowly add the egg mixture, then the mashed bananas. Beat until just combined (about 30 seconds).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely (at least 1 hour).
- Serve and enjoy!
