It's too cold to go out tonight so instead of sitting around I made a
low-fat whole-spelt banana bread. Aside from one time when I made
apple-oatmeal muffins, this is my first time baking something other
than cookies. It's very simple to make. The only bad thing is the 3/4
cup of brown sugar, so (as always, anyway) eat in moderation. I also
only used 3.5 bananas because I didn't have more in the house. If you
use an 8" x 4" pan like I did, you should get fourteen 1/2 inch slices,
150 calories each.

Low Fat Banana Spelt Bread

2     cups spelt flour
1     teaspoon baking soda
1/4     teaspoon salt
1/2     cup applesauce
3/4     cup brown sugar (or fructose)
2     eggs, beaten
4     mashed overripe bananas (2 1/3 cups)
1/3     cup chocolate chips or walnuts (optional)

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spray 9x5 loaf pan with Pam or similar.
  3. In large bowl, combine flour, soda and salt.
  4. In separate bowl, cream together apple sauce and brown sugar.
  5. Stir in eggs and mashed bananas until well blended.
  6. Stir banana mixture into flour mixture, stir just to moisten.
  7. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake in preheated oven for 60-65 minutes until a toothpick
inserted into center of loaf comes out clean.
  9. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire
rack.
 10. For muffins: spray muffin tin with Pam or similar, bake for about
25 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
