Description

Bursting with sweet strawberries, this light whole grain banana bread has zero added fat! And at only 196 calories per generous slice this is a great breakfast or snack choice!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 3 whole Medium Over-ripe Bananas, Peeled
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • ⅔ cups Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cups Fat-free Half-and-half
  • 1 cup Strawberries, Diced
  • ½ Tablespoons Granulated Sugar, For Sprinkling On Top Of Loaf

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. In a small mixing bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and set aside.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the over-ripe, browned bananas.
4. Add the eggs, vanilla, and sugar and stir briskly using a fork or whisk.
5. Stir in the half-and-half.
6. Using a wide spoon, gently stir in the flour mixture. Do not over-mix.
7. Before the dry ingredients are fully incorporated, add the strawberries and continue to stir until everything is just barely combined. Over-mixing will produce a denser, chewier bread.
8. Pour into a greased standard size loaf pan.
9. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top. This will produce a crispy, sweet, crusty top. This is the best part in my opinion but it is entirely optional. I did include it in the nutritional information.
10. Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. If you find the top is browning too much, gently cover with a sheet of foil.
11. Allow to cool before removing from pan. Because of the bananas and strawberries, I would refrigerate any leftovers after 1-2 days. I actually sliced mine up, wrapped each slice individually and froze it. Now every morning when I wake up, I let it thaw for approximately 30 minutes and then pop it in the toaster. Perfection!
