About This Recipe

"A great twist on an classic favorite. I had planned to make Cooking Light's recipe from their October 2010 issue, but I had to substitute a bunch of ingredients. It still came out great!"

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups mashed bananas ( about 3 large bananas)
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt ( or light sour cream or buttermilk)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter ( or crunchy)
3 tablespoons butter, melted ( or canola oil)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chip (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°.
To prepare bread, combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed. Add granulated sugar, Splenda, and brown sugar; beat until blended.
Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add flour mixture to banana mixture; beat just until blended. Add chocolate chips, if desired.
Pour batter into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.
Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 5 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack. Remove bread from pan; cool.

"This was a breeze to pull together. I used half unbleached white sugar and half brown sugar. Added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, too. I cut the recipe in half and used a mini-tube pan to bake the bread. Took about 35 minutes to bake and covered the bread the last fifteen minutes. Delicious with a cup of freshly brewed coffee! Thanks for posting!"
