Share on TwitterMy brother had leftover bananas that he had bought before his weekend in Montreal for the International Dragonboat competition (CONGRATS Melvin!) and asked if he could have some banana bread made. I had no problems with that and made him one with chocolate chips.
I had a couple bananas stored in the freezer myself (you know, collecting until I had enough for another batch) and his extra banana completed the set.
So I made myself a whole wheat banana bread, using three large mashed ripe bananas, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup non-fat plain yogurt cheese (yes, leftover from the cheesecake experiments) and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. I eliminated the butter in the recipe (making my version of the Best Light Recipe banana bread even healthier). I gingerly folded the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients which consisted of 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch (I decreased the flour used to lighten up the batter with the cornstarch), 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/3 cup sugar (I decreased the sugar) and 1.5 cups fresh blueberries from the quart that I bought the required finishing (tossed in flour). Everything was baked in a loaf pan for 55 min at 350F.
Voila my whole wheat low fat banana blueberry bread, made at 6:50am (I just woke up for no reason) and all ready and cooling for breakfast at 8am (I had gone back to sleep to nap a bit). I do love my Krups convection toaster oven (and it's timer) very much.
2 generous slices and a mug of matcha latte (my morning routine as of late) and I'm ready for the rest of the day. :)
