banana bread!


3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup margarine
1 egg
1 1/2 mashed very ripe bananas (3 to 4 medium)
1/2 cup buttermilk (don't have any?  Make your own!)
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt


  1. Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350ºF. Grease bottoms only of 2 loaf pans, 8 1/2x4 1/2x2 1/2 inches, or 1 loaf pan, 9x5x3 inches.
  2. Mix sugar, applesauce and margarine in large bowl. Stir in egg product until well blended. Add bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt just until moistened. Stir in nuts. Pour into pans.
  3. Bake 8-inch loaves about 1 hour, 9-inch loaf about 1 1/4 hours, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days
Mine made one large loaf and I calculated points based on 12 slices....6ppts a slice!  It was delish!
