Banana Bread – healthier with secret ingredients!
![]()
This Banana Bread is a recipe that my mother typed for me and I have used so much. I wanted to try an eggless version, so the secret ingredient is silken tofu instead of eggs. You can make it added sugar free, dropping many calories but still enjoying a sweet treat. The overripe bananas give it sweetness and the vinegar, milk and yoghurt are a substitute for buttermilk . I have since made many updates to it and improved the calories, carb count and saturated fat profile, but it remains true to its original heritage. -

It is so easy that the children might like participating in this one. The cranberry glaze adds some unique taste and beauty. -
