Healthy Banana Bread

Hey All! This is my first time contributing. I know, crazy. It's not that I haven't wanted to contribute, I just never feel I have the time. But I found this recipe on line and loved it. I didn't want to forget it so what other place to put it but on a web site that I can always find!

My girls LOVE bananas so I'm always buying them but sometimes we just don't go through them as fast as others and I hate to waste. So I'm always having to make banana bread but I hate that there is so much sugar and white flour in it. We're trying to eat healthier but not sacrifice taste. This one was great! Try it!


3/4 cup SPLENDA® Sugar Blend (you could use Stevia or if you don't have either then just use plain ole sugar.)
3/4 cup flax seed meal
5 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 cup low-fat sour cream
2 teaspoons egg whites
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt




Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, mix together the sugar blend, flax meal, bananas, milk, sour cream and egg whites until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the banana mixture until moistened. Spoon into prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean.



I just put mine in an 8x8 cake pan because I didn't have any loaf pans. My girls ate it up and Joseph and I thought it tasted good too. I like that there is a lot of flax seed in it because you're getting a lot of fiber and omega3 fatty acids!
Enjoy,
