Time 1h

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup Splenda granular, no calorie artificial sweetener (granulated)
1 1/2 cups mashed ripe bananas (about 3 bananas)
1/2 cup fat free egg substitute (like Egg Beaters)
1/2 cup no-sugar-added applesauce
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
no-calorie butter-flavored cooking spray (optional)
Cool Whip Free (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine both types of flour, Splenda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (in other words, all dry ing redients).
In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, egg substitute, applesauce, and vanilla extract (all the wet ingredients).
Add this mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients, and stir until just blended. Spoon batter into a large loaf pan (about 9" X 5") sprayed with nonstick spray.
Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly, and then cut into 8 slices.
If you like, spritz with some spray butter or spread on some Cool Whip Free.
This make 8 thick slices!
