Ingredients

4 bananas (, about 1 1/3 cups, mashed)
1 large egg
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour ((white or white-whole wheat))
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter (, melted (or substitute applesauce))

Steps:

Grease a standard 9x5'' loaf pan (I also like to line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to make sure the loaf doesn't stick).
Mash bananas in a mixing bowl. Add egg, vanilla, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon and stir well to combine.
In a separate small bowl stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to banana mixture and stir to combine.
Gently stir in melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 few minutes before inverting onto a wire cooling rack.

Yield 2 Loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
4 -6 bananas (dark)
4 cups whole wheat flour (pastry flour is fine)
1 1/2 cups ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs (or egg substitute)
1/2 cup oil
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray 2 loaf pans with non-stick spray.
Mash bananas.
Combine sugar, oil and egg--mixing until creamy.
Blend in mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ground flax seed, salt, baking soda. (Add the nuts to the dry ingredients at this point). Combine wet and dry ingredients, but do not overmix.
Pour batter into loaf pans and bake approximately 1 hour-testing with a toothpick at the hour, and then as needed.
Note: Because the batter is dense you will need to watch the baking time to be sure it is adequate--don't only go by color, flax seed will add darkness.
