Breakfast at Your Desk: I'm Loving This Low-Fat Banana Bread

Breakfast at Your Desk: I'm Loving This Low-Fat Banana Bread

You guys probably saw the piece in Glamour this month about just how horribly over-the-top banana bread can get (hello, 480 calories and 19 grams fat! Crazy!). Make this more sensible--yet still tasty--banana loaf at home, and bring it with you to the office. Better for your hips and your wallet!

(Makes 1 loaf)


2 large eggs


3/4 cup sugar


1 cup smashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)


1/3 cup buttermilk


1 tablespoon vegetable oil


1 tablespoon vanilla extract
