The Best Banana Bread Ever! (and it's healthy!)


Best Ever Banana Bread

(I like to also add a cup of frozen blueberries!  I don't put pecans in it, but you might like to. I also like to bake it in a 9x13 pan, for about 35-45 minutes).




I found this recipe on allrecipes, but I've tweeked it quite a bit.  And I really think it's perfect!  -Tiff :)
INGREDIENTS:
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup buttermilk or yogurt (I prefer yogurt)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (1/4 applesauce, ¼ oil)
1 cup mashed bananas
2/3 cup white sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (1/2 wheat, ½ white)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup frozen berries
DIRECTIONS:
1.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray one 9x5* inch loaf pan with non-stick spray coating.
2.
Blend together the eggs, buttermilk, oil and bananas.
3.
Sift together the sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Add to banana mixture and stir in pecans. Mix well.
4.
Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
