Low-fat Banana Nut Bread

With a few simple changes you can still enjoy a great treat with a few less calories.

NEED:
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup low-fat yogurt
1 cup sugar...if you wish to cut back the sugar a bit..toss in a few diced dates to make up the difference
2 eggs or Egg Beaters, will beaten
4 ripe bananas - mashed - but only mash right before adding
2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans. (walnuts contain less fat)

Blend sugar, yogurt and oil until smooth. Fold in beaten eggs. Mash bananas and add to mixture. Gradually stir in dry ingredients and beat until blended. Add chopped nuts & dates if using. Stir until well blended. Pour into sprayed or greased loaf pan.
