    I just made the betty crocker banana nut bread last week. They have a healthy version on the side of the box. You use applesauce instead of oil and low fat egg product for less calories or just egg whites for no cholesterol. I'm not much of a baker but can whip a box of something together really quick! LOL! It was really good!

    Banana Bread or Muffins (Makes 12 muffins or slices)

    1/2 cup all purpose flour
    1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
    1 1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/4 cup fructose, sugar or honey (or sweetener)
    1 large egg
    1/2 cup skim milk
    1/4 cup natural applesauce
    300 g of banana puree (about 3 bananas)
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    Directions:
    1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Combine all dry ingredients- flours, baking soda and sugar (unless you are using honey or liquid sweetener)
    3. Combine all wet ingredients.
    4. Mash bananas and add to wet ingredients.
    5. Make a well at the center of the dry ingredients and slowly add the wet ingredients. Mix until combined, with a few lumps.
    6. Put cupcake liners in 12 muffins tins( spray the liners too) or spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
    7. Divide the batter accordingly and put on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
    8. Bake 20 minutes for muffins and up to an hour for bread. Check regularly though, because ovens temps differ.

    P.S. You may want to up the sugar if you like your breads super sweet. This recipe is mildly sweet, but very very moist.
