Honey and Whole Wheat Banana Bread
- Ready In:
- 1hr 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Yields:
-
3 8x4 loaves
- Serves:
- 32
ingredients
- 5 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 4 teaspoons baking soda (to neutralize acidity in honey)
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup olive oil (Mild or Delicate)
- 1 1⁄3 cups raw honey
- 4 large eggs
- 4 1⁄2 - 5 cups mashed bananas (about 9 overripe small to medium)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla (optional)
- 1 1⁄2 cups chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 cup walnuts (optional)
directions
- Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
- In food processor (or by hand) mix banana, olive oil, honey, eggs and vanilla.
- Add banana mixture to flour mixture and stir just until combined.
- Stir in chololate chips and walnuts if desired.
- Preheat the oven to 325 and grease 3 4x8 loaf pans, evenly divide batter among the pans. (I know this is odd but I preheat the oven last because it gives the banana flavour time to develop for a few minutes before it goes in, I use the time to wash out you bowls and tidy up.)
- Bake at 325 for about 70 minutes.
- Let cool for in pans for 20 minutes, then turn onto wire rack to cool.
- When cool slice and serve or wrap individually and freeze to pack in lunches or impromtu picnics.
