Learn How To Cook Healthy™
Almost everyone I know loves banana bread. The traditional version usually has walnuts but you can also substitute with chopped almonds or make it nut free.
This low-fat version is great for breakfast or to pack in your lunch for a low-sugar afternoon treat.
I use whole wheat flour to add fiber and a helping of whole grains.

I stumbled upon your web site because I have been trying to find great, healthy recipes. For my weight challenge, I need to keep track of the nutritional value of what I eat. I would love to try your recipes, but you don’t include any nutritional information (From what I have been able to find). Would you consider adding this to your web site or providing this information? I wanted to buy your cook book ‘Secrets of a Skinny Chef’ but wouldn’t be able to use the recipes if it didn’t list nutritional information.
Thanks,
Ann

Made this last night and it was delicious! I had a bunch of ripe bananas so I doubled the recipe and made a few changes to be even healthier.
For the brown sugar – I used half the amount, and the other half used Ideal (xylitol natural sweetner). For the butter – again, used half the amount and then used 1/4 cup of chia gel. Used the whole egg (not just whites). And since we love cinnamon – I doubled that. With oat flour this turned out light and delicious! My kids gobbled it up. It baked faster as well. The loaf baked in about 40 min and the rest I used in muffin tins and those were perfect in 19 minutes.
Thanks for the recipe!
Great idea to use oat flour and glad the kids liked it too! Thanks for sharing!
Tried oat flour for the first time today. Was soo pleased with end result. I did leave out one ingredient on purpose from your recipe, it was the 3/4 cup of sugar.Delicious & moist.
Thanks Bertha, so you found it sweet enough without the sugar? Even healthier!!
