Healthy Banana Bread - Great in a Healthy DietThis low fat recipe really is a healthy food, and the banana bread is great for snacks, lunch boxes or desserts. It's also a brilliant way to use up bananas which are verging on becoming over-ripe and too squidgy to eat - these ones have an especially intense flavour and mash down easily to add to your cake batter.
I used four very ripe bananas to make this recipe and the fruity aroma came wafting from the oven as it cooked. It almost tastes like a vanilla cake, because it's so full of fragrance and flavour. This banana bread doesn't contain any fatapart from what occurs naturally in the walnuts, it's all been replaced with apple puree (applesauce). To make apple puree, peel, core and slice cooking apples such as Bramleys. You need 3-4 to make 2 cups of applesauce. Place in a pan with some water and cook gently until the apples are soft enough to mash to a pulp. Store for up to a week in the fridge, or freeze in an ice tray to use as needed for baking.
