Preparation

Step 1

1.  Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat a nonstick 9 X 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

2.  In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sweetener together with an electric mixer until the eggs are pale yellow and have tripled in volume. Reduce the speed to low and add the mashed bananas, oil, molasses, and vanilla extract.

3.  In a large bowl, combine the flours baking soda, and nuts, if desired. Stir. Make a well in the center and add the banana mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, stir just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

4. Scrape batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth top.

5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before removing from pan.

*1/3 cup Truvia for Baking or Domino or C & H Light can be used instead of the granulated no-calorie sweetener. Add 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time, testing the loaf with a toothpick as directed.
