Recently my husband has become very health cautious. Although he has a sweet tooth, he wants his desserts to be low calorie. Now, thinking of a low calorie dessert is difficult because anything without butter and sugar might not taste as good. Anyway, my friend Namrata got an eggless and low calorie date cake once when she came home and it was fantastic!! I didnt realize that it has no butter.
This gave me an idea to make low calorie banana bread. I added splenda instead of sugar and buttermilk instead of oil or butter. Here's the recipe.
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas, medium
1 1/2 C all purpose flour
1/4 C+2 tbsp splenda/ 3/4 C sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1/3 C buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tsp baking soda
1/4C raisins, optional
Method:
1) In a mixing bowl , beat eggs and sugar together with a hand mixer for about 5 mins till the eggs become fluffy.
2) In a separate bowl mash the bananas and add oil and vanilla and mix well. Add the banana mixture to the egg bowl and fold in flour , baking soda and salt.
3) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bread loaf pan and add the batter to the pan. Pour some raisins on the top
5) Bake the bread for 45 mins or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Serves:4-5
