Whole Wheat Banana Nut Bread
This recipe makes a light, cake-like bread with a great banana flavor… it’s easy and quick to make, and you can do all the mixing by hand.
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs (room temperature and slightly beaten)
1 cup mashed bananas (3 medium)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Melt the butter or margarine and remove from heat. Stir in sugar, bananas, and eggs, and mix until smooth. Combine flours, salt, and baking soda and stir into banana/sugar mixture. Stir in the nuts.
Bake in a loaf pan at 325°F until a toothpick or metal skewer inserted into the bread comes out clean and dry. (Baking time is one hour plus.) There is a notation on this recipe that this bread tastes best when it has “aged” for a few hours. We think it tastes great freshly-made, too.
