Banana Bread (Low Fat and Delicious)

I was shocked when I tasted this banana bread because it's supposed to be so healthy-tasting and I couldn't stop eating it! I didn't even feel guilty, because there's no butter, oil, or crisco. It was moist and delicious.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar

2 slightly beaten egg whites
1 cup mashed banana (about 2-3 extra ripe)
1/4 cup applesauce (or cooking oil)
Non-stick spray coating

DIRECTIONS

(Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees)
1. In medium bowl, stir together dry ingredients
2. In larger bowl, mix egg whites, banana, sugar, and applesauce
3. Stir flour mixture into banana mixture until moistened
4. Spray an 8x4x2 loaf pan with nonstick spray and spread batter into pan.
5. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes

*Note: Makes one loaf. Double or triple recipe if desired.
