low fat banana nut bread!!!! YUM!

I had 3 bananas that I needed to do something with besides throw away.  Kiddos won't eat brown bananas....  I searched the Internet and found a recipe.  I tweaked it a little and this is what I made up

3 or 4 ripe bananas
1 1/2 cup of unbleached flour (or you can use 3/4 cup wheat 3/4 cup white or all white)
1/2 cup sugar (half of what the real recipe called for)
1 cup unsweetened apple sauce (real recipe called for 2 tablespoons and then 2 tablespoons of butter since I want LOW fat I used NO BUTTER)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)

Mash up bananas then add all the ingredients.  This literally took me 10 min.    I filled up my loaf pan half way as well as 5 muffin cups with this mix, ran out of mix for the 6th.  Bake at 350 for 55 min.  I took the Muffin pan out after 30 min!!!! 

I have not tried this yet it is still baking BUT it smells AMAZING!  I will post a pic and let you know how the kids and I like it a little later!!!  ;0)

OK I tried one of the ones out of the muffin pan.  It was very good!!!  Remember this is a LOW FAT recipe!!  It was not as sweet as the original recipe!  If you want you could add a little more sugar or sweetened applesauce but by doing that you are adding more calories.
I think it tastes good as is!  ;0)
