EASY, HEALTHY SUGAR FREE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
• Combine the mashed bananas, vanilla extract, melted butter, beaten eggs, and unsweetened applesauce in a small bowl.
• In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sweetener, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
• Add the wet ingredients (banana mixture) to the dry ingredients (flour mixture). Mix with a silicone or wooden spoon. Don't overmix. Ensure the flour is incorporated, but the mix should be lumpy.
• Pour the banana bread batter into the parchment paper lined loaf pan. Smooth the batter throughout the pan.
• Bake for 40 minutes.
• Open the oven and tent the pan with foil. Don't fully cover, loosely tent (it shouldn't touch the bread). This will prevent the bread from browning too much on the top as the interior continues to bake.
• Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Test if the bread has finished by inserting a toothpick and testing if it returns clean.
• Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool for at least an additional 15 minutes.

SUGAR-FREE BANANA BREAD WITH APPLESAUCE

Steps:

• For Banana Bread: Mix well and bake at 375 degrees F for 40 minutes or until done. Surprisingly, using applesauce rather then sugar doesn't seem to change the taste at all. For Icing: Mix the pudding and milk until it stiffens. Beat the cream cheese until smooth and mix into pudding. Finally fold in the whipped topping.

SUGAR-FREE BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Grown ups: Preheat the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas mark 4. Grease and line a 450g loaf/1lb tin with baking parchment.
• Children: Weigh the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sultanas into a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon. Then weigh the butter, vanilla essence, egg, milk and mashed bananas and put into another bowl or jug and mix with a small balloon whisk or fork. Pour the 'wet' banana mixture into the 'dry' flour mixture and combine thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Weighing needs to be very accurate when baking so help older children to measure carefully. Younger children can also get involved by spooning or pouring into the scales with adult supervision. Younger children can also beat the egg with a fork and mash the banana with a potato masher.
• Grown ups: Pour the cake mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 30 - 40 mins or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, allow to cool in the tin for 10 mins then turn out.
• Children: Drizzle with agave syrup if using.
