Most Excellent and Healthy Banana Bread

I finally (after many attempts) have found a wonderful banana bread recipe that is moist, healthy and even the crust tastes good! I use Smart Balance as the margarine and powdered Egg Replacers for the eggs, and it's really fantastic. This recipe makes 3 loaves, but you can halve it if you have fewer bananas.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Serves: 30
• Yields: 3 loaves

Ingredients

• 3  cups white sugar
• 1  cup  melted margarine (try to get the no-trans-fat kind)
• 6  overripe bananas, mashed
• 4  eggs (or egg replacements)
• 2⁄3 cup skim milk
• 2  tablespoons vanilla extract
• 6  cups flour
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 2  teaspoons baking soda
• 2  teaspoons baking powder
• 1  cup  nuts (optional)

Directions

1. Mix sugar, margarine and bananas together with a mixer.
2. Add eggs, milk and vanilla and mix.
3. Add dry ingredients and nuts (optional) and mix either by hand or with a mixer until well blended.
4. Pour into 3 greased and floured bread loaf pans and bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes (or until a knife comes out clean).
5. I've also made this recipe in 2 loaf pans and an 8x8 pan and it works just fine - just check the 8x8 pan after 45 minutes or so.
