I am in love with Starbucks baked good, but we ALL know that they have a ridiculous amount of calories in them.  They have started using “simple” ingredients, so they post different recipes from time to time.  I decided to make the Banana Walnut Bread, but I decided to substitute a lot of different ingredients, and it came out wonderful!

Substitutions for:

White Flour - WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR

Egg - EGGBEATERS

Sugar - SUGAR SUBSTITUTE

Vegetable Oil - APPLESAUCE

Buttermilk - NON-FAT PLAIN YOGURT

Walnuts - SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHIPS

Starbucks Banana Bread - Reinvented!

yummy!

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

¼ cup eggbeaters

1 1/8 cup splenda granulated sugar (or whatever sugar substitute you prefer)

½ cup applesauce

2 tbsp non-fat plain yogurt

½ tsp vanilla extract

3 ripe medium-large bananas (mashed)

70 semi-sweet chocolate chips

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9×5x3 loaf pan and dust with flour. Blend together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside. Mix together the eggbeaters, sugar substitute and applesauce until combined. Add the flour mixture, yogurt, vanilla and mashed bananas and mix well with a mixer. Then add the 70 semi-sweet chocolate chips and blend again. Bake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before removing from pan.
