HEALTHIER BANANA SOUR CREAM BREAD

Esther is right! The sour cream makes this one so moist it melts in your mouth. I make it healthier by using light sour cream, whole wheat flour and less sugar and butter --and you know what? No one can tell the difference!

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.
