Whole Wheat and Flax Banana Nut Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup ground flaxseed
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 cup mashed bananas
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup chopped walnuts (I used almonds this time)
(Question: Do you think this recipe would still work if I substituted brown sugar or honey for the white sugar?)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a loaf pan.
- Sift flours, flax, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
- In another bowl, mash bananas. Beat in eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients until moistened. Stir in nuts. Pour into loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-55 minutes.
Enjoy!
(PS: One of my wisdom teeth is breaking through, that explains my headaches from the past few days. Why do we even have these damn things, hurts like a bitch… I need a teething ring!)
Sounds delicious. Wouldn’t mind a slice or two.
yummy, im droolin…:)
thanks for the recipe…. Brown sugar would make not difference, but honey would make a heavier loaf.
Very good, healthy spin on a classic recipe without being too dry or too much like a cake. I substituted soy flour for the white flour and flax oil for the olive oil. I also cut the sugar to slightly less than half a cup. My result was a loaf that didn’t overpower with banana, but rather blended the flavor of the whole wheat with a nice touch of banana and a hint of nutty soy flavor. We’ll see what kind of French toast this bad-boy makes in the morning.
