Low Fat Apple Banana Raisin Bread

Submitted by Palmtreesbend

"This is a delicious low fat version of my mom's recipe. It yields 2 loaves. I'm a very busy person with small children and lots of pets, so I will offer my time saving hints; with a large spoon, mix the wet ingredients in a large bowl then sift the dry ingredients right over the top and stir slowly until combined. I also always have some sort of flavored applesauce snack pack on hand and that is what I use. It could be mixed berry flavor or apple cinnamon, even grape! They all work well and I use 2 snack cups."

I was looking for a recipe to use overripe bananas and came across this one. Low fat also! Easy to make and my family loved it. I used only l cup of brown sugar. This is definitely a keeper.

I love these PalmTree. I made these as LF/LC as I could using whole wheat flour and also SugarTwin brown sugar. I actually cut this recipe in 1/2 and made them into 8 muffins. I love the combination of apples, raisins, and banana. So very healthy. I used my own home-made applesauce that is made w/redhot cinnamon candies. A nice addition. I can see where the flavored applesauces you mentioned would be equally as yummy. Thanks and I"m glad I tagged and made these for Springs PAC'09
