Easy+Healthy+Banana+Bread

I got this recipe from a PTO mom who brought it in for one of the meetings. It tasted as good as a Cuisinart banana bread recipe I had that had 6 tbs. of butter in it.

In a medium large bowl, mash 4 bananas - the riper the better Add 3/4 cup of white sugar Add 1/4 cup liquid eggbeaters (or l beaten egg) Add 1/4 cup canola oil (or extra light olive oil) Stir together thoroughly

In a small bowl measure:

1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1/2 tsp. salt

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until mixed.

Add chopped walnuts to taste, if desired.

Bake in a 350 degree oven about 50 to 60 minutes for a 9x5x2" pan.

I have a pan with 9 individual loaf cavities, and I divide the batter among the 9 loaves. They take about 20 minutes.

Lightly touch the center of the loaf to see if it is firm, and if so, it is done.

Enjoy.

Just this weekend, I added a variation and threw in a large handful of dried cranberries and some finely chopped dried apricot to the mix. The muffins are scrumptious 1

I am going to attach a picture of our voracious squirrels - even the baffles my husband put up didn't stop them from getting at the bird feeder: You can see him on the left-side of the feeder under the Pepsi bottle. Needless to say, my husband gave up and took the baffles off. Oh, well, squirrels have to eat, too! It's just that they are so greedy.

Oh My Gosh! I didn't even see the cardinal on the other birdfeeder. I was so focused on the squirrel. Very cool!!!!!
