Banana bread is a relatively healthy treat, but the eggs and butter typically used in the recipe can make the calories and fat add up quickly. Here is a healthier version that is just as delicious, but quite a bit lower in fat and calories.

This is great recipe when your banas are a bit too ripe for eating.
