Lower Fat Banana Bread

2/3 c. white sugar
1/4 c. margarine, softened
2 eggs
1 c. mashed bananas
1/4 c. water
1 2/3 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. baking powder


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray one 9x5x3 in. loaf pan with a nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, beat the white sugar and margarine until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs, water and bananas with the sugar mixture until it is well blended. Mix in the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder just until the mixture is moistened. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to blend all ingredients.
Bake at 350* for about 60 minutes. Bread is done when the top is firm to the touch and a golden brown color. Time will vary according to loaf size and oven type. When bread is removed from oven, allow it to cool on it's side for 10 min., then remove from pan and let cool on rack. This fread is also excellent if you add mini chocolate chips.
