Low Fat Banana Bread

Here is a treat that I know will be sure to make it to my Thanksgiving table this year.  Banana Bread, that is yes you read it right.... LOW FAT!  With all of the other goodies available to eat during Thanksgiving wouldn't it be nice to have at least one item besides the turkey that is on your list of things you can indulge in.

This is a picture of my already half eaten loaf, but not to worry I have 2 more loaves in the freezer just waiting to be defrosted.  I did add a handful of chocolate chips as well as pecans.  What's banana bread without a few complimentary ingredients. 
So without any further interruptions here is the recipe for the star of this post.

Low Fat Banana Bread

2 1/4 C. of Whole Wheat Flour
1 2/3 C. of granulated sugar
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 tsp. baking powder
1 1/4 tsp. baking soda
2/3 C. skim milk
1/2 C. plain non-fat yogurt
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/4 C. mashed ripe bananas
2/3 C. egg whites
2/3 C. pecans
2/3 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips


Heat oven to 350 F
Spray 2  loaf pans with non-stick spray (7"x3")
Measure all ingedients and mix together in a large mixing bowl on low speed until completely combined together.  Pour into batter into your loaf pans and bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick comes of clean.  You may also use mini loaf pans.  If using mini loaf pans you will get 4 loaves.

Have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!
