Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, and salt. Stir together with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until combined and all flour is mixed in.

QUICK WHOLE WHEAT AND MOLASSES BREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8-by-4-inch or 9-by 5-inch loaf pan, preferably nonstick.
• If using buttermilk or yogurt, ignore this step. Make soured milk: warm milk gently -- 1 minute in the microwave is sufficient, just enough to take the chill off -- and add vinegar. Set aside.
• Mix together dry ingredients. Stir molasses into buttermilk, yogurt or soured milk. Stir liquid into dry ingredients (just enough to combine) then pour into loaf pan. Bake until firm and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Cool on a rack for 15 minutes before removing from pan.

CORNMEAL BANANA BREAD (HEALTHIER)

Steps:

• First melt your bananas in the microwave if you have not already done so. Set aside to cool to room temperature (this is important because otherwise your egg might curdle later on).
• Then combine flour, cornmeal, oat flour, oats, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a large bowl.
• In a second bowl combine bananas, almond butter, egg, milk and almond extract and mix well.
• Combine dry and wet ingredients and mix until just combined. The dough should be rather thick, but not dry. If needed add a splash more milk or two.
• Pour batter into a prepared loaf pan and bake in the pre-heated oven at 180 C/350 F for 35-40 minutes.
• Remove to a wire rack to cool completely and enjoy!
