BANANA BREAD
------------
1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup milk powder (1/3 cup instant)
2/3 cup honey 1 tsp. salt
3 eggs, beaten 2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup mashed banana pulp 1 tsp. baking soda
(about 3 small bananas) 2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup water walnuts and raisins (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla
1) Cream the butter and honey until light; beat in the eggs,
banana pulp, water and vanilla.
2) Stir together the dry ingredients; stir them into the first
mixture, blending until just combined & moistened.
3) Stir in 1 cup walnuts and 1/2 to 1 cup raisins, if desired.
4) Turn the batter into an oiled loaf pan; bake at 325 degrees
for about 1 hour, until well browned and a tester comes out
clean.
This is great with cream cheese. The recipe says it can also be
toasted for breakfast, though I've never tried it.

| As far as healthy goes, this recipe has little to no fat in it. I'll
admit, it's a little heavy, but if you toast a slice and put some jam
on it.... it's great!
Makes 2 loaves
3 ripe bananas
1/2 C sugar
1 1/4 C applesauce
2 TBSP dry milk powder
2 TBSP grated orange peel
4 C flour
4 TSP Baking Powder
1/2 TSP Bkg Soda
1/2 TSP Cinnamon
1/8 TSP Nutmeg
1/4 - 1/2 C Apple juice
2 Egg whites
In Lg bowl, combine flour, powder, soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
In Med bowl, mash banana's, add dry milk, applesauce and mix well.
In Small bowl, mix egg whites, sugar and orange peel together.
Alternately mix banana's and eggs into dry mixture. Blend all well.
Add enough juice to moisten batter properly (will probably use at least
1/4 cup).
Pour into 2 Pam'ed loaf pans (or could use muffin tins). Bake at 350
for 50 ish minutes. Let cool 10 min in pan, then pop out.
Each loaf is less than 5% fat. Remember: toast it and put jelly/jam on
top.
