A Healthier Banana Bread

I saw this recipe on Pinterest and thought that I’d give it a try.  We all love the traditional banana bread that I usually make, but let’s face it, it’s not healthy with all of the white flour and sugar that it contains.  So, in order to lighten things up a bit, I tried this recipe.  You can definitely tell that it’s not full of sugar, but it’s good.  The boys like it, so we’ll be making it again!

INGREDIENTS
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar free applesauce
3/4 cup honey
2 eggs, beaten
3 mashed overripe bananas
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together applesauce and honey. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture; stir just to moisten. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.  Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
