A friend of mine gave me this recipe for a low fat banana loaf. There is no fat at all in the recipe and I was a little skeptical that it would work, but faced with three of the most manky bananas' in history and a pathological hatred of wasting food, I decided to give it a go.
I needn't have worried - it was yummy.
So much so, it was almost gone before I remembered to take a photograph!
Ingredients:
- 8oz Self raising flour (The original recipe specified wholemeal but I was out of wholemeal at the time)
- 3oz Brown sugar
- 3 Mashed ripe bananas' ( I can testify here that even totally black mushy bananas will work well)
- 2 Beaten eggs
- 1tsp Baking powder
- A handful of fruit (optional) I added chopped walnuts and they worked well.
Thats it!!
Easy Peasy!
I agree I would be concerned with no fat in there! But it certainly looks yummy and I am guessing that as there is barely any left that it tasted yummy too. My eldest boy is a big fan of banana bread and in fact will have to try the youngest too. I've got some bananas on the turn...right off to the kitchen for me xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a recipie you'll be using again! Jx
ReplyDeleteI do love a banana loaf, it's been ages since I last made one (I used to substitute some of the flour for Lidl's version of Weetabix). Your's looks delicious! x
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that is easy! My other half likes banana bread so may just give this a try..x
ReplyDeleteI love banana bread and usually make a slightly less healthy version, but this one looks good!
ReplyDeleteOK.... brain racking time.... what can you do with a few bits of leftover gammon? I am looking for something different to use up the remains of this coming weekend's Sunday roast, which is, naturally, a small gammon joint. Any ideas oh wise one?!
ReplyDeleteLooks very tasty! Just popping by to say I am your partner in Daisy Row's Springtime Swap.
ReplyDeleteThat looks nice, I'll give that a try. I'm sure the bananas weren't manky - just full of character !
ReplyDeleteLooks lush xx
