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!

One of my favorite recipes for banana bread calls for buttermilk as an oil substitute (you hardly know the oil isn't there!). Here are the details:
Ingredients:
(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
