Banana-Pineapple Nut Bread (Healthy)

This is a great substitute for Banana Bread. It is very dense and very moist. The portions are very generous. This can also be frozen. This is not a super sweet bread. It satisfies my desire for something different. This recipe is courtesy of Joanna Lund. Each serving is only 158 calories. Diabetic Exchanges are: 1 Starch, 1 Fruit and 1/2 Fat. I cooked mine closer to 65 minutes.

This is the worst recipe I have ever tried. I made oy exactly as the recipe called for. The dough was too dry, I had a add a little milk to make ingredients join together. It did not rise so we had flat cake that I put into the toaster to brown. It was super bland, with no spices such as cinnamon or vanilla to give it a boost. I'm all for healthy, but this cake won't do. In the Trash it goes.Reply

I just finished throwing this together for one of the Zaar games involving healthy foods. Due to what I had in the pantry, I made the following substitutions: 3/4 cup white and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, 1 ounce box of sugar free, fat free vanilla instant pudding, 2 VERY ripe bananas (they were pretty small) and light sour cream (that's all I had!). It is baking right now and it smells terrific. I will be bringing this to the office today and I will update my review later after they all eat it up. If by chance there are any leftovers, I will bring it home to my daughter who loves banana anything! Thanks for posting. Made for Healthy Choices ABC 2008. Ok, home from work and YES, they were a hit! Thanks again....hope you like the picture.Reply
