This bread is pure, unadulterated banana goodness. No One will know it is lower in fat, swear to god. Don't stress about the exact measurement; it always comes out yummy. TIP: 1. Never use a hand mixer for banana bread because it comes out gummy; treat it like a muffin batter and mix with a wooden spoon just until the wet and dry ingredients are combined. 2. In fact, if you would like to turn these into muffins, pour the batter into greased muffin tins and bake for eighteen minutes.
