"Healthier" Banana Bread

I LOVE quick breads and among my top faves is banana bread. Since I consume more sugar in a day than I probably should all year I have been in search for some alternatives to my traditional (and to die for!) banana bread that contains a ton of sugar, butter, etc. This is super moist and much lighter than my usual recipe- of course it isn’t the same as super indulgent versions but it is very good for what I deem “healthier” banana bread and replacing the sugar with splenda is not detectable at all. Next time I think I will use smooth applesauce but the chunky kind gives it more texture and is actually nice for a change. 

“Healthier” Banana Bread

1 ½ cups AP Flour

¾ cup Splenda

1 ¼ tsp. Baking Powder

½ tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Cinnamon (I used Roasted Siagon)

1/8 tsp. Cardamom

2 egg whites

1c. Banana, mashed

¼ cup applesauce (I used chunky cinnamon)

3 Tablespoons Fat Free Sour Cream

Pinch of Salt

350 degrees

Stir dry ingredients together in one bowl, wet together in another then add wet to dry.

Bake 30-40 minutes.

Makes one large loaf or 2-3 mini-loafs. 

 Yummmm! You can see I nibbled on the top one to taste test  :0)
