Low-fat Bannana Bread

Low-fat Banana Bread

 

Okay so this one does not fit the dinner criteria, but it does fit the 'quick and easy' criteria, and being low fat it's a healthier version of banana bread than the ones you can buy at the shops- so I am putting it on here! I am not much of a baker, so if I can do it, you can do it. And it really is quick- so quick that I usually decide to make this on the fly- usually when I find I have 2 over-ripe bananas left in the fruit bowl. It uses ingredients most people already have in the house too so no pre-planning required! My type of baking!

Time taken?: About 10 minutes to put together and 20-25 minutes in the oven

2 year old friendly?: Absolutely! My little one LOVES this! He has it for breaky for a few mornings after I make it.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cups self raising flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp reduced fat butter or margarine (I use nuttelex)

2 over-ripe bananas, mashed
