Banana Tea Bread

I was in the mood to use up some bananas from my freezer but not with my usual recipe, so I pulled out a cookbook I don't use all that often; The 99% Fat-free Cookbook. Of course I tweaked it a bit...
1 egg white
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup plain yogurt
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 ripe bananas, smooshed with a fork
1/4 cup light corn syrup (I think next time I'll use honey)

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1+ tsp cinnammon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Beat egg, egg white and milk until frothy. Beat in yogurt, brown sugar and vanilla. Add bananas and syrup. Beat together until mixed.
Mix together dry ingredients, then add to the banana mixture and stir just until mixed.

Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan until the pan is about half full. Put the rest of the batter in a muffin pan. Or make 2 loaves. One big loaf might not work as well-I advise against that.

Bake at 375F about 45-50 minutes until it's done.

It actually turned out a little dry. Yup, baked goods need fat.
