Lightened Banana Nut Bread
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup low-fat yogurt
1 egg
1 egg white
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup low-fat milk
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped nuts, toasted
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Toast the nuts by placing them on a cookie sheet in the 350-degree oven. Bake until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.
Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the yogurt, then add the egg and the egg white, stirring well after each addition. Add the bananas, then the milk, blending well.
Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt together. Add to the creamed mixture; blend together, but do not over beat, as this will toughen the bread. Add the nuts and pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Turn out onto a rack to cool. For best results, let it cool before cutting . Makes 16 servings.
