Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Overripe bananas
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or any low-calorie sweetener
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the overripe bananas using a fork until smooth.
Add the egg whites, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Stir until the wet ingredients are well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and stevia or low-calorie sweetener.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix the batter to ensure a tender bread.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the banana bread out of the pan and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
Slice into 10 even portions and enjoy a healthy, low-calorie treat!
