This is a moist and delicious low fat banana bread recipe.

Enjoy the healthier eating.
Making banana bread is not only a great way to use up over ripe bananas, it’s also a great way to get more fruit into your children’s diet.
The best way to keep very ripe bananas until you are ready to bake up a batch of delicious banana loaf is to freeze them right in their skins. When you are ready to bake, simply take the bananas out of the freezer, peel them, place them in a bowl and allow them to thaw.
You will have bananas ready to make into delicious breads and muffins any time.

Tip:
- If you are a beginner baker, here’s a simple tip that will prove valuable during your baking “career”. To test a cake or quick bread batter like this one to make sure it is fully baked, insert a toothpick or a thin metal skewer into a thick part of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is baked. If it still has batter stuck to it, let the cake bake for a few more minutes and test it again. It is a sure fire way to make sure the cake is fully baked.
