In
1996, Nabisco built up its growing line of SnackWellÆs baked
products with the introduction of low-fat snack bars in several
varieties, including fudge brownie, golden cake, apple raisin, and the
chewy banana variety cloned here. The secret ingredients that
help us keep the fat
grams under 2 grams per serving is banana puree to help keep the cake
moist while adding real banana flavor, egg whites rather than whole
eggs, some molasses and just a little bit of shortening. Whip it all
up, pour it into a pan and bake. Soon you'll have 21 tasty little
low-fat snack bars to get you through the week.
2 egg
whites
1 cup plus 5 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 1/2 cups banana puree*
3 tablespoons shortening
1/4 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla butter nut extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1.
Preheat oven to 350░.
2.
In a large bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer
until they become thick. Do not use a plastic bowl for this.
3.
Add the sugar to the egg whites and continue to beat until the
mixture forms soft peaks.
4.
Add the brown sugar, molasses, banana puree, shortening, milk
and vanilla butter nut flavoring to the mixture, beating after each
addition.
5.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients.
6.
While beating the wet mixture, slowly add the bowl of dry
ingredients.
7.
Lightly grease a 9x14-inch pan with a light coating of
non-stick cooking spray. Be sure to coat the sides as well as the
bottom of the pan. Dump about 3 tablespoons of sugar into the pan,
then tilt and shake the pan so that a light layer of sugar coats the
entire bottom of the pan, and about halfway up the sides. Pour out the
excess sugar.
8.
Pour the batter into the pan, and spread it evenly around the
inside of the pan. Sprinkle a light coating of sugar -- about two
tablespoons -- over the entire top surface of the batter. Gently shake
the pan from side-to-side to evenly distribute the sugar over the
batter. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the cake begins to pull away
from the sides of the pan.
9.
Remove the cake from the oven and turn it out onto a cooling
rack. When cake has cooled, place it onto a sheet of wax paper on a
cutting board and slice across the cake 6 times, creating 7 even
slices. Next cut the cake lengthwise twice, into thirds, creating a
total of 21 snack bars. When the bars have completely cooled, store
them in a resealable plastic bag or an airtight container.
*Puree
whole bananas (approximately 3) in a food processor or blender until
smooth and creamy.
