Directions: Whole Wheat Banana Bread Recipe
Step-by-Step Guide
- STEP 1.Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a loaf pan with a bit of oil or lining it with parchment paper. Next, mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth with just a few lumps remaining. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
- STEP 1.To the mashed bananas, add the olive oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined. If you want to boost the nutritional value, now’s the time to add ground flaxseeds and mix them in.
- STEP 2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can make the bread dense.
- STEP 3.Once everything is combined, pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface. Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
- STEP 4.Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors of this healthy banana bread recipe.
