HEALTHIER SOUR CREAM BANANA DATE BREAD



Healthier Sour Cream Banana Date Bread image

This is my take on healthifying (is that a real word??) the super-popular Recipe #9351. I added dates and eliminated the sugar entirely, swapped out the white flour for whole wheat, and substituted grapeseed oil for half the butter. The result was a super moist loaf that was just sweet enough - the sweetness from the dates and bananas really shone through. It turned out so well I thought I would share.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. The riper the bananas, the better.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread at a moderate temperature: Baking the bread at a moderate temperature will help it to rise evenly and prevent it from over-browning.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This healthier banana sour cream bread is a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The bread is moist and flavorful, and the sour cream adds a unique tanginess. This recipe is a great way to use up ripe bananas and make a healthy and satisfying snack.
