I know this is not a bread recipe that I have, but if you dont want to waste your bananas, you can make these banana pancakes
One ripe banana
2 eggs or just the egg whites
Mash bananas and combine til its a batter, then throw it on a pan with olive oil or pam cooking spray and fry them like pancakes.
Its real good and sweet0 -
Now that sounds like a really good idea...what do you put on it after? like jam syrup or nothing i may try this0

take your existing banana bread recipe... substitute either apple sauce or canned pumpkin for any and all oil it calls for... in equal amounts... replace 1/2 cup of oil with 1/2 cup of apple sauce or canned pumpkin... replace 1 cup of oil with 1 cup of either...
oil = either vegetable oil, butter, shortening, whatever it is the recipe calls for for that family of ingredients.
That cuts you down from 1600 calories for 1 cup of butter to 140 calories for 1 cup of apple sauce or 105 calories for 1 cup of pumpkin.0 -
Thats a great tip thanks do you think that would work with greek plain yogurt0

Actually its already sweet enough cause the bananas are ripe but I like to top mines with peanut butter or almond butter0 -
Awesome I may do this for breakfast tomorrow (:0

I'll have to try that applesauce/canned pumpkin replacement. I use mostly whole wheat flour instead of the white flour it calls for too. It tastes a bit different, but everyone that ate it liked it.0

You guys are awesome thank you so much0

I dont have the exact recipe on me right now...I eyeball it.
These are basically the ingredients.....
3 or 4 very ripe almost brown bananas
i use unsweetened apple sauce instead of oil or butter
Eggs....maybe...for more "wet ingredient" I throw in some yougurt...any flavour I have kicking around
Some cinnamon ...yum!
then I think its 2.5 cups of flour and the usual baking soda/powder.
Stevia or sugar...1 cupish
sometimes I throw in some blueberries or if its for the kds I throw in chocolate chips...just a few
Its really yummmy.
Bake at 350 for 45 - 55 minutes if using a loaf pan...or eyeball it if making muffins.0 -
by healthy, do you mean low calorie? i don't have a low calorie recipe but i have an awesome low carb/high protein recipe.
http://comfybelly.com/2008/12/banana-bread/
this is a great website if you want to start looking into a whole foods type of eating style. there are no refined sugars or refined white flours in any of the recipes. almond flour is a perfect substitute for white flour...dense and packed with protein, low in carbs, high in healthy fats but definitely not low in calories.
good luck!0 -
all kinds of great protein recipies on www.flawlessscience.com under the recipies tab0
-
So many options to try!0
-
I know I can't wait i think i am going to try all of them....going to be a baking fool tomorrow. lol0
-
Use in a smoothie.0
-
They can also be peeled and frozen in ziplock bags0

I just had apple pancakes the other day, instead of layering on butter...I added a small layer of peanut butter and sugar free syrup, im sure that would taste excellent with banana pancakes...0
