Banana Bread And Then Some

One picture is all you get. For some reason my other pictures aren't loading. Oh well. I found this recipe at The Tasty Kitchen. I was trying to find some healthy dessert recipes that actually taste good. This one turned out great.

Banana Bread Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups White Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
3/4 cups Splenda
1/4 cups Peanut Oil
2 whole Egg Whites
2 mashed Bananas
1/4 cups Fat Free Milk
1 tsp vanilla

I added an extra banana, because I felt like it helped the bread be more moist. Also, I used white whole wheat flour. It made the bread less crumbly.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Beat the remaining ingredients in a mixer. Add the dry ingredients. Make sure all ingredients are mixed well. Spray a loaf pan, pour the mixture into it. Bake for 35-45 mins. It depends on your oven. Mine tends to cook quicker. I always double the recipe, so I can have two loafs.

To make the following add the listed ingredients to the original recipe.

Strawberry Banana Bread Ingredients:
1 carton Strawberries (blended in the processor)
Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (optional)

Pumpkin Spice Bread Ingredients:
1 can Pumpkin (add to beaten ingredients)
1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon (in addition to regular recipe)
Raisins (Add as many as you want. I like a ton. Andrew doesn't like any.)

Anyways, these all turned out great. (By the way, I always include the banana.) The pumpkin bread has been my favorite. I also cooked it in muffin tins. It was really nice to grab one quickly and eat it for breakfast. I hope you all enjoy the recipes as much as I have.
