The ingredients for Maple Pecan Banana Bread are:

1/2 cup butter, melted (I replace half the butter with unsweetened applesauce)
2/3 cup pure maple syrup (I use sugar-free)
1/2 t vanilla extract
2 egg whites, slightly beaten
2-3 ripe bananas, mashed
3 Tablespoons buttermilk (or milk)
2 cups flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 cups chopped pecans plus a few for topping

Here is how you make Maple Pecan Banana Bread:

Mix melted butter, applesauce, maple syrup and vanilla together. Add egg whites. Mix in bananas and milk, leaving some chunks. In a separate bowl, combine flour, soda, baking powder and salt. Use a whisk to combine all dry ingredients evenly. Add them to wet mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in pecans. Fill two greased loaf pans or muffin tins. Top with a few pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes. About 20 minutes or so for muffins. Top should be very light brown and toothpick inserted should come out clean. 14 slicesNumber of Servings: 14Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AFRICAPARISH.
