A Dessert Darling Recipe for Reduced Fat Blueberry Banana Bread

By Dessert Darling ·   July 5th, 2010

It’s not often that I bake. I pretty much banned myself from the kitchen on account of the fact that I eat almost all the batter of everything before it even makes its way to the oven.

I had a bunch of ripe bananas though, and  couldn’t resist the opportunity to make my Reduced Fat Blueberry Banana Bread. I basically substituted a fresh peach and some apple sauce for the excess butter. The treat is still completely tasty, delicious, and a huge hit with my man. I hope you enjoy!!

I forgot to take a photo before we demolished the bread, so this image is courtesy of Melissa from 99percentcacao.

Ingredients:

  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 stick salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 7 medium, ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 large, ripe peach
  • 2 tbsp apple sauce
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • Lots of blueberries!
  • optional: chopped walnuts


Directions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Grease two 9-by-5 inch loaf pans.
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, soda and salt with a wire whisk; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mash bananas with a chopped ripe peach, and then add 2 tbsp apple sauce.
  • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Add bowl of mashed bananas, eggs, and vanilla, and beat at medium speed until thick.  Scrap down sides of bowl.
  • Add the flour mixture, and then blend at low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in blueberries with a spatula.
  • Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake on center rack of oven for 60-70 minutes.  A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Cool in pan for 10 minutes.

Enjoy!!! 🙂
