Healthy Banana Bread Recipe (1)

Sometimes I just crave a big hunk of banana bread and it seems like you do to because you love this Banana Bread recipe! Sometimes I like to live on the edge a little and make a banana bread with a twsit! When I’m in that mood I makeCinnamon Swirl Banana Bread. The only problem is that I can never stop at one slice! Fresh out of the oven is when it’s the hardest to resist temptation! That’s when I decided it was time I gave us another alternative with a Healthy Banana Bread option! It uses coconut oil, whole wheat flour and Truvia to lighten the traditional recipe up a bit. Then when I go for that second slice, which I know I’m going to do, I won’t feel quite as guilty!

Banana Bread is my comfort food. I’ll admit it. If it’s a cold blustery day in the winter it’s that thing I crave to eat. I love to make it, enjoy the delicious aroma while it bakes and of course love to dig in once it’s done, often times burning the top of my mouth! Or if I’m having a bad day it’s the same deal!

Healthy Banana Bread Recipe (2)

Last week I had one of those bad days where I was craving some Banana Bread. You see I appear to have it all together or at least that is what I’m often told. In my head I’m laughing hysterically at this conversation because I know I don’t have it all together. Far, far from it. I must do an excellent job of covering this up! For instance last weekend after church I had a slight panic attack because I realized that Easter was the next weekend. For some reason I thought there was another week in there. I had bought the girl’s dresses and had them ready to go but I didn’t have a white sweater to go over RyRy’s and in Minnesota you need one in March! After some searching the hubs found one online that would be here in time and the crisis was averted.

Or so I thought…

Until I got that package and it seemed REALLY heavy for a tiny little white sweater. I opened up the package and low and behold it contained three pairs of men’s cargo pants. Instant panic. I live in small town Minnesota it’s not like I can run up town and purchase one, henceforth why I ordered it online! Immediately I go to Facebook to vent and my amazing, supportive friends are offering up their sweaters. My sister-in-law saved the day and picked one up on the way home Friday.

And if anyone wears a Men’s size 34×30 and would like some dark brown cargo pants I totally can hook you up!

I fully plan to do a little bit better in the planning department next time! Hold me to that will you?

As I said before Ilightened this delicious banana breadup by using Truvia® Baking Blend. It’s one of my favoritesecret ingredients because it helps me reduce the calories in delicious baked goodsandnot sacrificing the flavor.Truvia® sweetener is natural, great-tasting sweetness that was born from the leaves of the stevia plant. This Banana Bread is perfect for when you need that big slice or two of Banana Bread when the craving hits!

    Love this recipe! The bread has great banana flavor and is moist and tender. Mini-loaves are my favorite because they are super easy to toss in the freezer. Another keeper!

    I was out of yogurt so I substituted sour cream (yes, I know, less healthy!) and used canola oil instead of coconut oil. I wasn’t sure what “white whole wheat flour” was so I substituted whole wheat flout made with red winter wheat. The results were very delicious! Thanks for giving your recipe which enabled me to make a healthier version of banana bread than I usually make!
