I eat bananas on a daily bases, but sometimes they ripen faster then I can consume them. I absolutely love deserts, they are hard to turn down, and hard to walk away from. I found a super simple low fat banana bread recipe to share with everyone. The bread came out moist, sweet, and delicious. I was a little nervous about using light mayo, but I could not tell the difference. The low fat mayonnaise is the substitute for butter, and cuts the fat and cholesterol count in half. I also added some cinnamon, which gave the bread even more flavor. I controlled myself last night and only had one piece, but I can't wait to tear into it today.
