Whole Wheat Banana Bread

My partner and I love this, and he is usually skeptical of my banana breads (the family recipe I used for years always had a baking soda taste to it). I love that I can just toss in three bananas, and not smash and measure. Did you know you can just throw past-their-time bananas in the fridge, and under their brown jackets will be perfectly usable banana bread fodder? You can even throw them in the freezer still in their skins, in a freezer container. The last time I made this recipe, I replaced half the butter with applesauce, and all the white sugar with brown. Very moist, very yummy.

This recipe was great. I made a double batch with 3 cups of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of all purpose flour. Also substituted half of the butter with apple sauce and 1/2 brown sugar and 1/2 splenda instead of regular sugar. It came out moist and tasted great. Thank you for sharing. Def. a keeper!

This recipe produced a large moist loaf with a wonderful flavor. The whole wheat flour adds so much taste to a bread that I usually find too sweet and cake-like. Family loved it! (One change: I did not have a blender, so I mashed the bananas, etc by hand and it worked fine!)

I made this when my sister was visiting and she requested a "healthy" dessert. She didn't like it. I've had better and worse "healthier" banana breads. This was okay. I think it's worth trying once, but I wouldn't make it again.

This is a perfect recipe moist and easy no oil. Went to a health food store and made sure my wheat flour was one with protein it it.

This was an easy recipe to follow and I really enjoyed how it turned out - tasty. I substituted the butter with apple sauce, used 100% whole wheat white flour, only used 1/2 c of brown sugar and added some raisins to make up for a bit of sweetness. Next time I may also use 1/2 sugar and 1/2 splenda. I had to bake my loaf for longer, but may be due to the altitude? I will definitely use this recipe again.

I made this recipe into 24 muffins. I cooked them at 325 for 25 minutes and they were perfect! I also used brown sugar instead of granular sugar. They were so moist, and mostly eaten within half an hour out of the oven! I am going to toss all of my other banana bread recipes... this one's a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

Very good recipe. I love to make quick breads for my family, but I usually don't eat them. I never eat banana bread because I've never had a taste for it, but this recipe with the addition of whole wheat flour gives this recipe a more wholesome, hearty flavor which I find appealing. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Moist, flavorful and delicious. I omitted the nuts, allergies, but added 1 cup of chocolate chips. Even without the chocolate I think this is still a good bread. I made a dozen muffins and one small loaf. Baked the muffins for 25 minutes. They came out perfectly brown and smells divine. Thank you.

Yummy! Such a great recipe. I made a couple of changes based on reviews and used half sugar/half splenda and then half apple sauce and half butter. It didn't compromise the taste at all. This is a great recipe that can be tailored to fit a variety of dietary needs. Thanks!

Amazing recipe! I use all whole wheat flour (I grind my own, so store-bought may be different) and it is amazing. I also decrease the amount of sugar by about 1/3 but the kids would probably prefer it with the original amount.

It _is_ more like a cake - with a rich, buttery, crumbly texture. Really lovely, and not overwhelmingly banana-ey. I actually blended the walnuts up with the banana mixture (so my kids wouldn't pick them out) and blended in a handful of sunflower seeds too. I love that it's 100% whole wheat (I used graham flour, i.e., whole wheat pastry flour). We all liked this a lot, and I'm about to make another batch, this time with some thawed frozen bananas instead of the usual overripe ones. Thanks for posting this!

This was a good recipe. I took my bread out at 60 minutes and it was a little over cooked so be sure to keep an eye on it when it is cooking.

This is a great recipe. I've made a lot of banana bread and this is the best for slicing. I do want to try it with brown sugar for some depth. Thank you!

Great recipe! I added in some chocolate chips and they were a big hit with my little boy and his friend. They ate 4 of them before the end of the day!
