Luscious Fat Free Banana Bread

Luscious Fat Free Banana Bread

An Original Recipe by Not Quite Nigella

• 5 very ripe medium sized bananas (mine weighed 675 grams or 24 ozs total skin on)

• 1.5 cups plain or all purpose flour

• 1/2-2/3 cup caster or superfine sugar

• 1 teaspoon bi carbonate of soda

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 egg

• 1/2 cup apple sauce

• 1/2 cup non fat milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Step 1 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line 2-3 small loaf tins with baking parchment-I actually had better results dividing the batter into 3 and making three small loaves as making one large ones makes it hard to cook through. Mash the bananas in a bowl and put aside. Place the flour, sugar, bicarb and baking powder in a bowl and whisk to combine making sure the soda is well distributed. In a jug or bowl, whisk the egg and add to the flour mixture along with the banana, apple sauce, vanilla and skim milk and mix to combine.

Step 2 - Pour into the prepared tin. I baked these smaller ones for 30 minutes, larger ones will need 60-75 minutes (it's hard to tell with banana bread as its dense). Check the centre with a skewer and make sure it comes out clean. Allow to cool-I liked this once it was cold and spread with butter.
