This is a delicious healthy banana bread that I've been making for years. The recipe is flexible, optionally sugar-free and dairy-free, & can be embellished with chocolate, nuts, and fruit. A great way to use your over-ripe bananas! Read more ! Ingredients:
combine in a large bowl |
2 c whole spelt flour (or whole wheat or barley - or a mix of flours) |
1/2 tsp salt |
1/2 tsp soda |
1 tsp baking powder |
combine separately |
3 lg very ripe bananas (about 1&1/2c) - mashed |
2 eggs |
*1/2 c brown sugar or sucanat |
1/2 c milk or substitute |
zest of a lemon or orange (optional) |
2 tsp vanilla or 1 tbsp dark rum |
mix wet and dry until just incorporated. |
optional: fold in approximately |
1/2 c chopped walnuts or pecans |
1/3 - 1/2 c dark chocolate pieces |
1/2 c chopped dates |
Directions:
1. Pour into a generously greased and dusted loaf pan - any smallish pan will work.
2. Bake at 350 for about 50 min - a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean.
3. Wait 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a rack to cool.
4. Enjoy :-)
5. * For sugar-free or a lower-sugar banana bread, replace the sugar with 1/3c of unsweetened fruit juice concentrate (apple, orange, white grape), agave syrup, maple syrup or honey.
