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.

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)

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?

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.
