I love this bread… it’s not as sweet as traditional banana bread but it is fantastic when warmed and topped with a little butter and honey (-:
It’s truly a heathy choice!
I created this recipe by changing up a few old favorites…
2 ¼ cup whole-wheat flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large bananas (the riper the better)
¼ cup kefir (or yogurt) plain
¼ cup honey
2 eggs
1/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts
extra honey for drizzling (per Chef Deacon 😉
Directions are in the video! Hope you enjoy as much as we do!!
Here is how I make my applesauce:
This is how I can it:

Adding the eggs has just undone any goodness that omitting the oil and
sugar had for this bread. Not recommended for anyone with heart disease or
high cholesterol.
another option for eggs is some ground flaxseed mixed with water, about one
tablespoon of flaxseed mixed with two tablespoons of water will replace an
egg and bind the batter just as well without the cholesterol.
Thank you. I am going to give this a try right now.
thank you finally found a recipe without Oil and sugar thank you again!
Followed your recipe and it came out amazing!! Thank you very much :)
Love this banana bread!!
You could actually leave the eggs out since banana and apple sauce can
easily replace the function of the eggs, and this recipe has both.
I appreciate you experimented and found the right balance of sweetness from
several sources for your taste. However i recommend amending your
description to read “no table sugar” (sucrose) in this recipe, because
banana, honey, applesauce, kefir & even eggs, all contain sugar. For those
of us who have issues with total glycemic index in their food, we need to
count all the sugars.
yummy!
I made it and it was really good!! I think I will make this way from now
on!!!!
You rock ! Totally making this for breakfast for the next few days (-:
“mommy why is honey sticky?” I love it!
Is it good? My mom made that before, sadly I didn’t taste it, it was
gone… Lol.
I just made this bread. It’s so amazing !!! Thank you for sharing this
recipe with us 😉
lol- I know… I was just baking everything in one day to save energy and
keep our house cool… they could have been riper but yesterday was baking
day!
And I am kind of mean… what I make is whats for dinner… you can have a
variation of it (taco salad instead of tacos for example) but I refuse to
make anything extra… yep, I sound like a Biacht /-;
You seem to be blessed with such a great eater (deacon) what will you do if
drake is a picky eater(which he has already shown)
Honey is still better than having just sugar
So do I need to make any adjustments for elevation? I know in your cookie
vid you mentioned the elevation and I’m assuming Northern Illinois is lower
than where you’re at 😉
Now, I’m really gonna go in the kitchen and make this. Lol.
love it! so simple and looks amazing thank you jenny 🙂 oh and healthy!!
Hahahaha!! WHY??????? I love it!!
