banana bread recipe

  • Does any one have a good banana bread recipe?

    thanks
  • I have not tried this yet but this is from a WW cookbook (2006 Weight Watchers New Complete Cookbook) I just got from the library-

    1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
    3 tbsp packed light brown sugar
    2 1/4 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1/4 cup chopped walnuts
    8 dried dates, chopped
    6 dried apricot halves, chopped
    1 large egg
    1 ripe banana, mashed
    1/4 cup FF milk

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, spray 8 by 4 pan (9 by 5 would work as well) with nonstick spray.

    2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; stir in walnuts, dates and apricots. In a small bowl, beat the egg; add banana and milk. Pour over flour mixture; stir until just blended (do not overmix).

    3. Transfer to pan and bake about 1 hour or until toothpick in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on rack.

    Now, if you're a little leery about the dates and apricot halves, omit it for something else or just add a bit more banana and/or raisins. Hope it turns out great! I will be making this in the following week WITHOUT the dates and apricot halves.
  • Thanks so much, it looks yummy.
  • I finally made this and it turned out yummy and MOIST! Took about 50 minutes for me to complete in a 9 by 5 loaf pan. Only thing I did different from recipe was use almond milk (ran out of regular milk) and swapped the apricots for 1/4 cup golden raisins.
  • I finally have some banana's that are ripe enough, so I am going to try it this weekend. i love yummy moist banana bread.
  • wow! i have to try this. i LOVE banana bread and i think i eyed 2 bananas downstairs in the kitchen! thanks!
  • I'm definitely going to try this! Banana bread is one of my favorite but I'll most likely leave out the apricots and dates.

    THANKS
  • This one is fab

    Only four points a slice
