HEALTHY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 9 x 5 loaf pan with unbleached parchment paper. In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork or a masher.
• Add eggs, applesauce, maple syrup, oil, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt; whisk to combine (masher works fine).
• Add flour and stir gently just enough to mix.
• Pour batter in prepared loaf pan and bake for 50 - 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool off completely. Cut into 10 slices and enjoy.

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.)
• Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok! If you're adding any additional mix-ins, gently fold them in now.
• Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. If you'd like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically, if I haven't added any mix-ins, my bread is done at 55 minutes; if I have added mix-ins, it needs closer to 60 minutes). Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for at least 10 minutes. You may need to run a butter knife around the edges to loosen the bread from the pan. Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool before slicing.

HEALTHIER YOGURT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Grease one 5x9-inch loaf pan, or use 3 mini loaf pans. Some people even double the recipe and bake it in a bundt pan. Spray with cooking spray to coat pans.
• Cream margarine, sugar, eggs and vanilla.
• Add dry ingredients, then mashed bananas, nuts, and yogurt or sour cream. Add chocolate chips, if using. Mix well.
• Bake at 350°F for 1 hour. If using mini loaf pans, cook for about 45 minutes. Enjoy!

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment (allow it to come 2cm above top of tin). Mix the flours, bicarb, baking powder and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
• Mix the bananas, syrup, eggs and yogurt. Quickly stir into dry ingredients, then gently scrape into the tin and scatter with nuts, if using. Bake for 1 hr 10 mins-1 hr 15 mins or until a skewer comes out clean.
• Cool in tin on a wire rack. Eat warm or at room temperature, with low-fat spread.

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD MUFFINS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
• Whisk together the coconut oil, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla and egg whites in a separate medium bowl until well combined. Stir in the mashed banana. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir until combined. Stir in the chopped walnuts if using.
• Fill the lined muffin cups about three-quarters of the way with the batter (a generous 1/4 cup in each; see Cook's Note). Bake on the center rack until a cake tester or toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then remove the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

HEALTHIER BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160C/325F and spray a 2lb loaf tin with cooking spray. Place a strip of grease proof paper across the pan with enough overhang for you to lift the banana bread out.
• Break the bananas into a large bowl and then mash with a fork until it's as smooth as you can get it. It's not the end of the world if there are a few lumps.
• Add in the maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, eggs and natural yoghurt and whisk until everything is well combined and smooth.
• Add in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt and whisk just until the mixture is combined and there are no lumps of flour. Don't be tempted to over mix or beat the mixture, it will turn rubbery.
• Tip the mixture into your prepared pan and smooth into an even layer with a spatula/wooden spoon.
• Place in the oven for 50-60 minutes, until risen, golden and an inserted skewer into the centre comes out clean.
• Leave to cool for at least 30 minutes before you try and dig in! It tastes great warm from the oven or at room temperature. It would be best to leave it to cool entirely in the pan, before transferring to a cutting board to slice, but I could not resist having a slice straight from the oven!
• Healthier Banana Bread will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature, for a week. You can serve at room temperature, or reheat a slice in the microwave for 30-45 seconds.

The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color. Add room-temperature eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into butter mixture before adding the next. Stir in mashed bananas until well blended. Pour banana mixture to flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Transfer batter into prepared loaf pan.

EASY HEALTHY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Add the bananas, eggs, milk, oil, sweetener, oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon to a blender in that order. (Adding the wet ingredients first will allow the blender to easily blend the batter.)
• Blend until smooth, stopping and scraping down the blender if needed.
• When the batter is smooth, fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan then transfer to the oven.
• Bake the banana bread for 1 hour and 20 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes if the bread is browning too fast.
• The banana bread is ready when it is golden brown and risen and firm to the touch. A skewer inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
• Remove the banana bread from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes in the pan before removing and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.

BANANA BREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Mash two ripened bananas using a fork in a mixing bowl until there are no lumps in it.
• Beat in an egg and mix well with banana.
• Add a cup of powdered oats to this mixture. Add in parts to avoid lumps. Mix well to get a slightly thick dough consistency.
• Add baking soda, dates syrup and vanilla essence and give it a good mix.
• Alternately, you can choose to add all the ingredients to a blender and blend them to form a dough.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease the bread pan with butter or avocado oil.
• Pour in the dough into the bread pan and bake the bread for upto 20 mins until you see golden brown coloud.
• Turn off the oven and allow it to cool down.
• Note that the bread will continue to bake even when it is cooling down so do not try to overbake it - baking for longer makes the bread hard.
• Once cooled down, you can enjoy the soft and fluffy banana bread.

• Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
