Swap #2-Banana Bread Light

Thanks for the homemade yogurt, Court! I'm excited to try your recipe-you'll have to post it for us. The banana bread here is super-easy, and is definitely the best light banana bread recipe I've found. I end up freezing bananas if they get too ripe to eat. You can just thaw them in the microwave and drain the liquid before mashing.

Banana Bread Light

1 cup granulated sugar

1, 8-ounce pkg fat free cream cheese

1 cup mashed over-ripe bananas

2 large eggs

2 cups Bisquick heart-healthy baking mix

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sugar and cream cheese in a large bowl; beat with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add banana and eggs; beat until well blended. Add baking mix and pecans, and stir just until moist. Pour batter into a 9-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray; bake for 45 minutes. Tent bread with foil, and bake an additional 15 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
