Secret Sunflower Banana Bread (Light)

The Joy of Snacks, Nancy Cooper, RD.



3 medium ripe bananas, peeled and mashed with a fork
1/4 cup butter, melted (I use Canola oil)
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon unsweetened orange juice concentrate
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts

Stir in butter, orange juice concentrate, honey and bananas.

In a separate bowl, stir together the dry ingredients. Add to banana mixture.

Add the vanilla and sunflower seeds. Mix well.

Pour into an oiled 9x5-inch loaf pan or 2 mini loaf pans. Bake at 350 F for 55-60 minutes or 35-40 for mini loaves. Or make 12-14 muffins at 350 F 20 minutes.

Remove from pan. Cool before slicing.

Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices)

Serving slice: 1 slice 139 calories.

Or make regular muffins filling the paper lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes.
