HEALTHY Banana Bread | Doctor Explains How to Make Low Calorie Cakes

Join me as I bake a healthier low calorie version of the classic Banana Bread. A popular choice by many in the belief the bananas make it a healthier option, it is often laden with sugar, oil and butter.

In this episode, I share with you healthier alternatives to common ingredients to create this masterpiece whilst maintaining a genuine taste.

RECIPE AND METHOD

For the mixture:

- 3 Bananas - mashed

- 1 Cup flour

- 3 Tbsp applesauce

- 1 large egg

- 1 tsp baking soda

- ½ tsp cinnamon

- ¼ tsp salt

- 1 squeeze of honey - optional

- 1 tsp cocoa nibs - optional

Mix the dry ingredients together and set aside. In a separate bowl mix the banana, eggs, applesauce and cocoa nibs together. Once you have achieved an even texture add in the dry ingredients. Be sure not to over beat the mixture as the cake will loose its height.

Transfer the mixture into a loaf tin and place in an already heated oven at 180 degrees for 60 minutes or until a knife can come out clean from the cake.

Set aside to rest and enjoy with a lovely cup of tea.

Please remember to always eat treats sensibly as part of a full healthy balanced diet and an active lifestyle.
