Description
Healthy and delicious banana bread! Recipe uses no oil and less sugar than other recipes and whole wheat flour. Just as delicious as less healthy banana breads recipes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large overripe bananas (1 1/2 cups mashed)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (or 1/2 c white sugar mixed with 1 tbsp molasses)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tsp real vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup white flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Mash bananas well, they should have no lumps. I use my mixer to mash them before adding the other wet ingredients.
- Add eggs, brown sugar, milk and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl combine all dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated.
- Fold in optional ingredients: 1/2 c cranberries, chocolate chips or nuts.
- Pour into a greased and dusted loaf pan. (I like to use coconut oil to grease the pan.)
- Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes, a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf should come out clean. (You may also make 2 smaller loaves and bake for 30 minutes.)
- Wait 10 minutes before removing from pan. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and store leftovers in refrigerator.
- Enjoy
