Banana Bread Recipes

Bananas and low-fat buttermilk give this old favorite its moistness and help lower the fat.

This is banana bread. I made muffins instead.

My mom's favorite banana bread, full of chopped dates and nuts. Processed sugar is decreased slightly by subbing Splenda(r) for some of the brown sugar. This is the full recipe. Not necessarily healthy, but my Mom's favorite.

Simple, basic recipe with walnuts and coconut flakes added

From her book, Nancy Clark's Food Guide for New Runners

Low-fat, sugar-reduced, easy banana bread.

My preference is to use the mini loaf pans because
1. I have 4 loafs that I can freeze instead of 2
2. The banana bread cooks in less time saving time and money
3. The banana bread comes out more moist since it doesn't need to cook through a lot of batter.

This is the modified version of Colleen75 "Low Fat Banana Bread" recipe

Can add nuts if desired

Reduced fat banana bread recipe.

Based on the Nigella Lawson recipe. Tastes good with other nuts instead of walnuts (dessicated coconut, almonds, pecans, etc) and other dried fruits sultanas, cranberries, apricots, lemon peel, etc). Can also substitute oil for butter.
Try subbing 25g of flour with cocoa powder and add 100g of good dark cooking chocolate to make a chocolate version.

This makes about 1kg of banana bread, so you might want to halve the recipe.
Cupcake size pans make about a 40-50gm portion [aprx 200cal for 50gm so a nice treat] are a good way to go. You will get about 20-24 for a full recipe.
If you don't want alcohol use fruit juice to hydrate the raisins or sultanas.

I adapted this recipe from Prevention by replaced Spelt Flour for white flour; Splenda for 1/2 the amount of sugar; and fat free Greek Yogurt for the Vanilla Low-Fat Yogurt.

I wanted to lighten up the traditional (very moist) Bisquick banana nut bread. Yummy and a big nutritional boost.
