Banana Bread with Less Sugar Recipe
Ingredients:
* 3 large ripe bananas, mashed
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional)
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
* 1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, softened butter, sugar, and honey or maple syrup (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips (if using).
6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Cook Time: 55-60 minutes
Prep Time: 10-12 minutes
Total Time: 65-72 minutes
Tips and Variations:
* To reduce the sugar content even further, try using only 1/4 cup sugar and add an extra 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup.
* Replace the sugar with coconut sugar or date sugar for a slightly different flavor.
* Add a teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the batter for an extra boost of flavor.
* Substitute the nuts with chopped hazelnuts or almonds for a different texture.
* Use dark chocolate chips or chunks for a deeper, richer flavor.
* Make muffins instead of a loaf by dividing the batter into 12 muffin cups and baking for 18-20 minutes.
