I wanted to makeover my favorite Banana Nut Bread recipe without changing the taste or texture of the original recipe that I love. I was so impressed with the results, it came out moist and dense, just like my original recipe. To lighten the original recipe, I replaced eggs with egg whites, replaced 2/3 of the butter with apple sauce and reduced the sugar. Make sure your bananas are very ripe. You'll never know this banana nut bread is low fat and lightened up!
