I LOVE banana breads. They are one of my favorite things to bake and to eat. We had some over-ripe bananas I needed to use this weekend and so I set out to bake a banana bread. I always like to try new things so I looked in our pantry to see what fun things we had that I could mix in. This weekend I found walnuts and butterscotch chips - two of my favorite baking ingredients.
I am obsessed with the recipe I used. I modified it off of this recipe that I found on Pinterest. I made it gluten free and used less normal butter and sugar to make it a little more WW friendly (This recipe is 10 points... not my lowest point baked good, but well. worth it!). After baking it I have two recommendations of things I would change from how I did it:
Use the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter baking sticks, not the spread (I only had the spread so I used it, but next time I'd seek out the ones actually made for baking).
If you are using a butter substitute, up the bake time by at least 10 minutes (I ended up having to toss the center piece because it was not baked well).
Recipe (Serves 10):
Ingredients:
3 Ripe Bananas (mashed)
1/4 Cup I Can't Believe it's Not Butter Spread
1/4 Cup Butter (softened)
5/8 Cup Stevia
1/8 Cup Sugar
2 Eggs (lightly beaten)
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1 1/2 Cup Gluten Free Flour
1/2 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Walnuts
1/2 Cup Butterscotch Chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl adding the chips and nuts last. Put in greased bread pan. Bake for 60 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean from the center. Cool and serve!
This bread was absolutely delicious, and like the best banana breads, incredibly simple to bake! What is your favorite banana bread recipe? Let me know in the comments!
