Low-Fat Whole Wheat Banana Bread

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
Let the demolition begin! After 6 years of living in my dysfunctional kitchen, we finally began work on our new kitchen over the weekend. I even got to buy a new dishwasher!!!! I’ve been without one for 6 years and you can imagine the amount of dirty dishes our sizeable family produces.
 
We are trying to do the work in stages as much as possible so we can keep using the kitchen. I am dreading the day the sink gets torn out. It is being moved to a different location which means I’ll be without a sink for at least a couple weeks. The massive bag of paper plates from Sam’s Club is waiting in the pantry.

I know the finished result will be amazing and so much better for our family and catering jobs. It will test every ounce of patience my Father in Heaven has given me to make it to the end. Pray for me!
 
Low-Fat Whole Wheat Banana Bread

Did you ever think you would see the words “low fat” on my blog? I hope I don’t lose any readers over it 🙂 This is the only way I make banana bread in my house. All of those bananas and applesauce makes the bread so moist and tender. The kids don’t even know it is wheat flour with only a smidge of oil. You could even throw in some ground flax seed if you wanted, but be sure to reduce the flour so it isn’t too dry.

    Carol, what are the chances I could use brown sugar in place of the white sugar? Our family is trying to eat “clean” meaning as close to it’s natural state as possible. I am struggling with good recipes and so I checked out your blog and found this one right at the beginning…imagine that? Let me know if you have any ideas for me on cooking clean. Thanks Steff

    Actually, the last time I made this recipe, it was with brown sugar because I was out of white. I did use a bit less as far as amount due to the added sweetness of the molasses in the brown sugar. The bread was a bit more dense, but still very delicious!
