Recipe: Healthy Banana Bread

This bread here is completely oil/butter, egg & sugar free! and if preferred, can be Gluten free as well - The best part is, it turned out to be just as moist and delicious as 'regular' Banana Bread if not more.

I love playing with recipes - so it's always great to make it your own.  I added cranberries, dates & almonds in mine - other popular substitutions are: walnuts, chocolate chips, raspberries, apple, etc.


Recipe:

1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1/2 Cup All Purpose Flour
1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup sweetener of your choice (Honey, Agave, maple syrup..etc..)
1/3 cup Yogurt (Plain)
1/4 cup chopped dates (or a topping of your choice, walnuts, raspberries, chocolate chips, etc)
2 medium ripe bananas (mashed)
1 small apple (Mashed or apple sauce) - Optional


  • Preheat oven to 350F and grease an 8x4 load pan - set aside
  • Mix flour(s), baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt - set aside
  • In another bowl, whisk Yogurt, sweetener, Mashed bananas & Mashed apple (or apple sauce if using) - Whisk together until completely incorporated
  • Slowly mix dry and wet ingredients together until no dry flour remains - do not over mix
  • Add in your choice of toppings -  I added raspberries and almonds)
  • Pour the batter into the greased pan and bake for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick insert comes out clean
