Healthy Banana Bread Recipe

Eating healthy is important. You are what you eat, so if you can bend your taste a little and use less sugar, less fat etc... your diet will be a much better one. So what would we do without this healthy banana bread recipe :)? Ugh.. We removed some of the sugar, we replaced half flour with whole wheat flour and we erased butter from the list of ingredients. This makes this recipe low sugar and low fat banana bread recipe. And believe us, it still tastes great!

For This Banana Bread Recipe You Will Need:

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup brown sugar (or you can also use honey, check out the honey banana bread recipe)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
1 1/2 cup mashed bananas (4-5 bananas)

1. Mash the bananas and beat the egg. Now mix them both together with sugar (or honey), salt and cinnamon.

2. Now take a large bowl and mix in flour, baking powder, baking soda and the mess you made in step one (just kidding about the mess :) ).

3. Stir and you are done. Now all there is left to do is pour the batter into the bread pan and bake at 350F (180C) for 50 minutes. You can test the bread by sticking a knife into the loaf and if it comes out clean it is finished.

So if you are going to eat a lot of banana bread (we sure will), try and use this Healthy Banana Bread Recipe. Enjoy!

Recipe looks great but I'm not sure what temperature to put the oven at.... I guessed it was 325 degrees f. Can you please add the correct info to your recipe? Thanks a bunch! (get it? "bunch" as in bunch of bananas... stupid joke, I know :o)

:D
You're right, I missed the temperature. Put it at 350 degrees, thanks a bunch to you too :)

Hi, Can you tell me if I can cut out all purpose flour and just use 2 cups of whole wheat flour? Does that make the bread come out more dense?

Banana 28.07.2008. 02:14

Hi Cindy, I can't remember if I ever used only whole wheat flour... I think using only whole wheat flour would make banana bread a bit less compact and easier to crumble and also denser.

Linda 07.09.2008. 08:14

I'm going to try this, but will use 1 1/2c whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup GROUND flaxseed, and 1/2 cup applesauce (for sweetness, as a binder, and for moisture.) Will cut out the all purpose flour, increase cinnamon to 1t (love cin!) and add chopped walnuts. All other ingredients to be utilized as directed.

Flaxseed is a GREAT fat replacement believe it or not, yet also adds fiber and omega-3s.

I may end up shredding a small zucchini into this as well as they are still growing in our garden! Who says healthy can't be delicious!

@Linda, sounds healthy&delicious. I have to try it sometimes.

How many ounces is one cup of flour

Erica 24.08.2009. 16:59

I would love to know the nutritional value for the bread. how many calories, fat grams and fiber per serving? And howm any servings are in it?

Laura 29.08.2009. 06:06

Hi,

How much honey would you use instead of brown sugar? Also 1/2 cup?

Piroska 05.09.2009. 11:58

Is it alright to add 1/4 c. splenda for more sweetness? I read Linda's suggestion only after I put the banana bread in the oven.
thanks!

made this bread this morning b-4 work and now enjoying it. I like the balance of 1/2 white flour and 1/2 wheat flour. I added a hand full of chopped walnuts. I will make this again. the recipe I use to make had 1/2 cup of butter. I don't even miss it!

Nika 24.09.2009. 15:16

Mmmmm, that's tastyyyy!

Claire 10.11.2009. 20:44

Do I have to use a bread dish? Hope not as none with me far away in Asia at the moment!!!

Barbara 13.12.2009. 13:54

Made this yesterday with ALL whole wheat pastry flour (everything else exactly the same). Came out moist and tender. Slices well. Will add 1/2 cup nuts next time.

do you butter the pan?

Banana 31.01.2010. 04:25

@ana, yes, butter the pan so your banana bread comes out easier when its done.
