Wait don’t throw out those bananas …

I must admit I LOVE LOVE banana bread but since I’ve been dieting (and just to finally say it I’m down a little over 21 lbs!!) I haven’t been eating a lot of my favorite foods.  BUT thank you Pinterest I have found yet another amazing recipe.  AND it’s only 1 point for you weight watcher people!  And heck the kids loved it of course with some butter but heck they need the calories!

Ingredients:

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • In a mixer, mash bananas, add Splenda and mix.

  • Mix in rest of indgredients.

  • Pour ingredients into a bread pan sprayed with non-stick spray.

  • Bake for 50 to 60 minutes; cake tester should come out clean when done.

  • Remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

  • *If using a dark coated pan, bake at 325 degrees and bake a little longer; cake tester to should come out clean when done.

    I used an organic strawberry applesauce packet that the boys love (I didn’t have any other and it worked perfect).

    4. Firstly, congrats on the weight lose, that is a great amount. I am only at 10lb loss but hoping to get to 21 over the next 16 weeks! As for the cake, yum...mie, my 2 love banana cake and to have a recipe that doesn't have 2 cups of sugar in will be great. This I will be trying soon, now where did the supermarket keep those old bananas?? Actually think I have some frozen in the freezer!

    8. I love banana bread. Haven't made any in a long time. Bananas are not low carb but I can have the butter!
