Easy to make eggless whole wheat banana bread

Healthy whole wheat banana bread is the recipe I am going to make today. Banana bread is my kids’ favourite evening snack. Mine too😀. When we went for our weekly grocery shopping I saw some nice bananas. So I thought we will buy them. I hung the bananas in a banana stand and thought that they will stay for a few days. I saw some brown spots form and the bananas started to fall. My kids could not possibly eat all these bananas in one day.

I was scanning my brain to look for some banana recipes…In response to my suggestion for Banana pudding, my mind said: “I already did this”. Banana wheat flour appam, “Hmmm, It is a regular dish”. Banana fritters, “Too much Oil”.

So I started to search the recipe book that I am keeping for more than 6 years. I saw the banana bread recipe. The one thing I like in this recipe is that it is not calling for oil and it is an eggless banana bread recipe. I am adding applesauce here.

I am not using any banana bread tins to bake. Instead, I am steaming the bread here. I added walnuts and flaxseed meal too from the add-ons list. My kids enjoyed banana bread while watching TV later.

I hope you enjoy too.

Healthy whole wheat banana bread requirements

Whole wheat

Whole wheat flour is used in this recipe to make the recipe more nutritious and fiber-rich.It contains all parts of the wheat kernel including bran, the endosperm and the germ.

Wholemeal flour is flour sifted through screens and at the end a certain percentage of bran is added back into it.On the other hand Whole Wheat flour or Whole grain flour is milled from the complete seed and nothing is removed. 

Banana

Banana is the main ingredient here.Cavendish banana is sweet and best fit for banana bread.The ripe banana is best for making banana bread.

Apple sauce

Apple sauce is the moisture providing ingredient we use here.Apple sauce blends together with other ingredients and yields the moist bread.Apple sauce can be used as a substitute for butter in general.Apple sauce works in cakes,breads and in muffins comparatively better than cookies.

Yogurt can also be used instead of apple sauce to retain the moisture.

Sugar

I am using raw sugar in this recipe. Palm sugar,coconut sugar,brown sugar can also be substituted.
