Banana Bread (loads less sugar)

This bread is NOT sugar free. And it is not Paleo. But made from things in my house. And it has a TON less sugar than my other Banana Bread recipe (which I use when I make for other people or for a big occasion - which was courteously given to me by my friend Sara 😉). So for our family we will be having it every so often instead of me feeling guilty with how much sugar I’m giving them. Tim honestly said it tasted “awesome” and a child, not my own, also gobbled it down.
I wanted to make something for my kids to eat after they get home. They are famished from the day at school and need all the carbs for more energy. In this there are healthy carbs, fiber, and bits of protein. It also didn’t take me a bazillion dishes to wash or hours to bake. And all the ingredients were as “whole” or organic as I could get from my cabinet. Either way - it’s less sugar than the 3 plus cups of sugar for my other batch


Recipe:
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1&1/2 cups of applesauce (unsweetened)
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon of honey
3/4 cup of yogurt (I used Soy yogurt)
2 tablespoons of cinnamon
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup of white flour
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1 cup of chopped walnuts
1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Grease one 9x5 loaf pan (I had a bit extra to make a few muffins from the batter).
3. Take 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Mix together. Sprinkle a light dusting of it in the bottom of the 9x5 loaf pan
4. Mix all the wet ingredients together until combined. 
5. Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. Batch will seem lumpy. 
6. Pour into loaf pan. 
7. Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out crumbly. 
8. Let it sit in the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes before removing. 

Oats would be good in this as well. I’m gonna try those instead of the white flour next time.

Enjoy this less sugary option. I’m sure I’ll still use the other recipe...for special guests or people:)
