Ingredients
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce1 cup sugar1 cup Splenda (or use 2 cups Slenda blend)7 overripe bananas3 large eggs1Tab. vanilla extract3 cups Wheat Montana whole wheat white flour2 tsp. baking soda1/2 cup lowfat or skim milk1 tsp. lemon juice1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray and flour two full size loaf pans.
Beat applesauce and sugar well. Add bananas, eggs and vanilla. Beat well. Add lemon juice to the milk. In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking soda, mix well. Add flour and milk alternately, beating well the whole time. Slowly blend in chopped nuts.
Depending on your oven, bake 45-55 minutes, until a wooden skewer poked in the center comes out clean. Let set until cool on racks. Run a knife around the edges and hold pan upside down, tap gently and catch bread as it loosens. Let finish cooling on rack.
Tip: I toss bananas that are too ripe into the freezer. When I have 6 or 7, I let them thaw about an hour, snip off the stem, and squeeze out the banana like toothpaste out of a tube. Strip your fingers down the peels to get all the fruit.
Serving Size: Makes 2 regular loaf pans, 16 servings per pan
