LOW-FAT, HIGH-FIBER YUMMY BANANA BREAD



Low-Fat, High-Fiber Yummy Banana Bread image

I make this each and every time we have bananas that are over-ripe. I toast slices to have along with my coffee for breakfast. I also use toasted slices to make peanut butter sandwiches for the kids' lunches. Who says if it's good for you it can't taste good too? The original recipe, which I have adapted quite a bit, came from Nick Malgieri's book "How to Bake."

BANANA BREAD - LOW FAT, HIGH FIBER



Banana Bread - Low Fat, High Fiber image

I started with the Flax Banana Bread recipe on the Red Mill site, then tweaked it a bit to remove fat and add some more whole grains. This is a hearty-tasting, moist and delicious banana bread that even my young kids enjoy!
