Whole Wheat Banana Bread (Oil and Sugar Free)

One of my favorite things to do with Lilly is bake.  It's fun and it teaches her so many things.  Best of all, she is more willing to try foods that she has created.


I have a slight love of the Food Network and Lilly has grown to enjoy "mommy's cooking shows".  Last week we made our own cooking show when we made this bread for the first time.


It is so easy and so much better for you than your traditional banana bread recipe.

Whole Wheat Banana Bread


2 ¼ cup whole-wheat flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt

3 large bananas (the riper the better)
¼ cup kefir (or yogurt) plain
¼ cup honey
2 eggs
1/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla


*1 cup walnuts, optional


Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.  Combine wet ingredients in a small bowl.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients.  Mix until well incorporated.  Batter will be lumpy.  Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees F until done.  Toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.


**Portion Control Tip**


If you have an issue with portion control, I highly suggest cutting the loaf after it has cooled and wrapping each piece individually in foil.  Put all of the pieces into a freezer Ziploc bag and store in the freezer.  Just remove one at a time and microwave for about 45 seconds before eating.
