Healthy Banana Bread

Once again, trying to use up my produce from my Bountiful Basket, but trying to stay healthy.  So I made this healthy banana bread.

I decided to double the recipe so I could share with some friends (and use up these bananas!)  Since I only have one bread pan, I made half the batter in muffin tins and made banana muffins.  So delicious!

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

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and/or muffin tins.
2. 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.
3. Bake bread 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. 
4. Bake muffins in same oven for 15-20 minutes.  

Rating:  3.8 stars.  In terms of health food, absolutely delicious.  Compared to banana chocolate chip bread?  Not so good.  Worth making when looking for a healthy alternative.  But won't necessarily satisfy that sweet tooth.
