Why soybean oil, you ask? Here’s the heart-healthy scoop:
🌟 Rich in unsaturated fatty acids, soybean oil is a champion of heart health. The American Heart Association advises swapping saturated fats (like butter) with unsaturated options (like soybean oil) to help lower heart disease risk. Soybean oil also holds an FDA heart health claim!
🛒 Not only is soybean oil easily available, but it’s also a budget-friendly way to boost your intake of heart-healthy fats.
So, are you ready to make the switch and give your banana bread (and heart) a healthier makeover? 🍞💖
Let’s bake with heart health in mind!
Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas, mashed
1/3 cup soybean oil
1/2 cup soymilk
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, soybean oil, soymilk, and sugar.
In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
