Well. Where do I begin? I think everyone has their own definition of “healthy”. And I think my banana bread recipe is healthy for the following reasons. If you don’t eat entire loaf in a day.

Natural sweetener like maple syrup or honey replaces refined sugar.

Applesauce replaces almost a cup of oil. It makes banana bread moist.
Whole wheat flour adds fiber, nutrients and vitamins unlike the all-purpose flour stripped of everything that’s good for us.

  • Simple

  • Incredibly moist

  • Perfectly sweet

  • Contains no sugar


Ingredients




  • 2 cups whole wheat flour





  • 1 teaspoon baking soda





  • 1/4 teaspoon salt





  • 1/2 cup sugar free applesauce





  • 3/4 cup honey





  • 2 eggs, beaten





  • 3 mashed overripe bananas


How to Make It :




Directions :





  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together applesauce and honey. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.

  3. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
