Low Fat Banana Oat Bread

MsSally's Note:

Wholesome goodness of oatmeal in a moist banana bread. Low fat and low sugar, DH doesn't like overly sweet banana bread. This is one of my inventions and I hope you like it as much as we do.

• Total Time: 55 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 12

• 2 cups flour

• ½ cup non-fat vanilla yogurt

Directions:

1. Sift first 6 ingredients (flour through cinnamon) together in a large bowl.
2. Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
3. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients.
4. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray. Pour mixture into pan.
5. Bake at 350 for 40 to 45 minutes or till tests done with a cake tester or toothpick. This will rise very high. If necessary, cover the top slightly with foil if top starts to brown too fast.

Great recipe! I modified and made it gluten free and still turned out great!

This was pretty good - it made one loaf plus 5 muffins. It's not very sweet, so for my taste I would add more sugar.

This has a very "chewy" texture, which I like. I also had to bake about 10 minutes longer, and it just barely all fit in my loaf pan, which is a little larger than normal. I may make two smaller loaves next time. I didn't have vanilla yogurt, so used banana-strawberry flavor, which added a little extra flavor. I use half brown sugar and half Splenda for the sugar. Very good for being almost fat free!
