Whole Wheat Banana Bread Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Melt butter.
• Put the butter, sugar, bananas and eggs in a blender. Blend until nice and smooth.
• Now transfer to a mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, stir together flours, salt, and baking soda.
• Add dry ingredients to banana mixture alternately with hot water.
• Stir in chopped nuts.
• Cut a piece of waxed or parchment paper the size of the bottom of your loaf pan.
• (This helps the loaf come out in one piece while still warm).
• Put the paper in the loaf pan and spray the pan well with non-stick spray.
• Scoop the batter into the pan.
• Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for one hour and 10 minutes.
• Test with a cake tester to make to make sure it's done.
• Sometimes it takes a little bit longer.
• If the top gets too brown, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil so it doesn't get too much darker.
