Low Fat Banana Bread

First question I asked myself before making this bread was how to make it 'low-fat.' So I used canola oil or extra virgin olive oil instead of butter in a small quantity, low-fat yogurt and whole wheat flour. I can at least enjoy this bread without any guilt. ;) The best thing about this bread is that you don't need your electric mixer. :) You just need to mix all ingredients together and your batter is ready. It sounds pretty easy right?

Banana Bread

Egg - 1 (If using only egg whites, use 2 eggs)

Whole wheat flour (Aata) - 3/4 cup

All purpose flour(Maida) - 3/4 cup

Banana - 2 mashed

Low-fat yogurt - 1/2 cup

Canola Oil - 1/4 cup

Vanilla Essence - 1 teaspoon

Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon

Baking Soda - 1 teaspoon

Ground Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon

Sugar - 3/4 cup

Salt - 1/4 teaspoon

Preheat oven to 350 F and grease the loaf pan with oil.

In a large bowl, mix mashed bananas with baking soda and yogurt. Let this mixture sit until you prepare other ingredients.

In a separate bowl, whisk together oil, egg, sugar, and vanilla.

Take another bowl and mix all flours, baking powder, ground cinnamon and salt.

Now combine banana mixture to the oil mixture and add it to the flour mixture. Stir until all ingredients are moistened. 

Pour this mixture in the prepared pan and bake for about 45-55 minutes. Insert a tooth pick in the center of the cake, if it comes out clean your banana bread is ready! 

Remove it from oven and allow it to cool.

Note: You can add chocolate chips to the mixture right before pouring your batter in the pan.
