A few days ago I posted about our shopping trip {here}and purchasing Equal Sweetener at Walmart on sale for $7.97 {compared to $9.97}. One of the recipes I had planned that day and was buying ingredients for was the Banana Raisin Bread recipe I found on the Equal Sweetener's Facebook page. We love bananas so I knew we had to make it!
A slice of Banana Raisin Bread in the morning or at snack time is lovely and not having the extra calories to worry about is always a big plus. I prepared the Banana Raisin Bread in just 15 minutes while my little one watched from his high chair and after baking it for 50 minutes it was ready. The banana bread was moist and delicious and we all loved it. Recipe is below:
Banana Raisin Bread Recipe
A full flavored quick bread made with ripe bananas and raisins. Cereal adds extra crunch and beneficial nutrients. Equal reduces the calories but not the taste.
Ingredients
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
3 tablespoons 2% milk
1-1/2 cups Kellogg’s® Special K® cereal
6 tablespoons stick butter or margarine, softened
1 cup Equal® Spoonful*
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
* May substitute 24 packets Equal sweetener
Preparation
-Combine banana and milk in medium bowl. Stir in cereal. Let stand 5 minutes or until cereal is softened.
-Beat butter and Equal® on medium speed of electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well blended. Stir in cereal mixture. Gradually add combined flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt mixing until combined. Stir in raisins.
-Spread batter evenly in sprayed 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Bake in preheated 350° F oven 45 to 50 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

ENJOY!

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a tasty recipe, tho i'm not a big fan of using artificial sweeteners. Especially for things my daughter would eat.
ReplyDeleteYou can always substitute with honey or brown sugar :)

That looks so good! My favourite way to eat banana bread is to toast it for breakfast.
