Banana Bread - 87 calories a slice!

I LOVE banana bread, even though you can't get me to eat a banana.  I love it so much I get nervous making a whole loaf because I don't know if I can make it last over a few days instead of just eating it all!  Here is a recipe I've "health-ified."  Just had two slices for breakfast with some fat-free spray butter topping, and it was delicious!

Yields 12 slices at 87 calories apiece

Ingredients:
2 cups cake flour (800 calories)
1/2 cup of spray butter 
3/4 cup of Splenda brand brown sugar
2 over-ripe bananas (200 calories)
1/2 cup egg whites or egg substitute (50 calories)
1 teaspoon baking soda
a pinch of salt (the spray butter has a salty taste)
regular Splenda and cinnamon to taste

Directions:  Heat oven to 375 and spray a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.  In a blender, cream the brown sugar and spray butter.  In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking soda.  Add the bananas and the egg substitute to the blender until smooth.  Slowly add the dry ingredients into the blender until batter is fully moistened.  Pour the batter into the pan, and bake for 45-50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean!
