Author:
Recipe type: Quick Bread
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
Batter
  • 2 cups very ripe bananas, mashed (about 4 or 5 medium bananas)
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ cup raw sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour, sifted once to remove part of bran and germ
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts, optional (I omitted the walnuts)
Optional Topping
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl, then stir in the oil, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla.
  3. Mix together the flours, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and chopped walnuts, if using, and add to the liquid ingredients. Be sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl to thoroughly incorporate the ingredients.
  4. Spread the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  5. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle over the batter.
  6. Bake the bread for about 60 to 75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the bread appears to be browning too quickly, you might want to tent it with aluminum foil for the final 15 to 20 minutes of baking.
  7. Remove the loaf from the oven. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then gently remove it from the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
