BANANA-PINEAPPLE NUT BREAD (HEALTHY)

Banana-Pineapple Nut Bread (Healthy) image

This is a great substitute for Banana Bread. It is very dense and very moist. The portions are very generous. This can also be frozen. This is not a super sweet bread. It satisfies my desire for something different. This recipe is courtesy of Joanna Lund. Each serving is only 158 calories. Diabetic Exchanges are: 1 Starch, 1 Fruit and 1/2 Fat. I cooked mine closer to 65 minutes.

Categories Bread Appetizer Breakfast Bake Healthy

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 cups whole wheat flour
1-3/4 cup stevia in the raw
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs plus one egg white
2 cups mashed ripe bananas
1-1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small bowl, beat the egg, bananas, oil and extract. Stir into dry ingredient just until moistened. Fold in zucchini and walnuts. Transfer to loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 325° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to wire rack

Tips:

Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be. If your bananas are not ripe enough, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with an apple or pear.
Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to ensure that your bread is evenly textured and moist.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana nut bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake the bread at a higher temperature, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Banana nut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a loaf of bread that is moist, flavorful, and packed with nuts. Whether you enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or snack, banana nut bread is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. So next time you have a few ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
