Low Calorie "Betta Banana Cake"

 I have been craving for banana cake this few days after i try some that i bought from the supermarket. However, as you might have already know, white bread are high in carbohydrate content that can be an enemy to all the healthy practicer out there. Thus i try to research on how to make a healthy banana cake when i come to across a blog posted by Jenn. Here is the ingredients and recipe to make them:


TIP: Make sure to always use ripe bananas (the spottier, the better) when making banana bread. It provides the extra moisture and sweetness that makes this bread such a sweet treat!

Ingredients (makes 16 small slices):

1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
3 tbsp. Promise Light Buttery Spread
1/4 cup applesauce
2 medium mashed bananas (200g)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Combine dry ingredients. Combine wet ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Jenn left her batter a little lumpy because she wanted to be able to see some banana chunks in the bread. She poured it into a greased springform pan and baked it at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes (depending on the oven). The bread should be a golden brown color and cooked around the edges.

There are many ways to eat this banana bread. I've come up with a few options during the taste testing and experimenting that you may enjoy just as much as I have:

- Eat a slice plain
- Eat a slice topped with butter, jam or nut butter
- Eat a slice with some low calorie almond milk
- Crumble a slice over low calorie oatmeal or cereal as a deliciously sweet topping
- Crumble a slice over low-fat yogurt, or fage yogurt
