Banana Bread

Banana Bread

(I always use the last of the bananas I have when they are turning black & getting mushy. I think those make the best banana bread)

Non-stick spray coating
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
2 slightly beaten egg whites
1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 bananas)
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cooking oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1. Spray 8x4x2 inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Set aside. In a medium bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, & salt. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl stir together the egg whites, banana, sugar & oil. Add flour mixture all at once to banana mixture. Add Walnuts. Stir until just moistened.

3. Spread batter in prepared pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

4. Cool the bread in pan or on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on rack. Wrap in foil or plastic wrap if desired to serve at a later time.
