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.
BANANA/ORANGE BREAD
The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Experiment as you wish with the ingredients. Some people like raisins or currant in their loaves (I do not, but that should not stop anyone). This recipe is a delicious, healthy version of an old standby, and one which the entire family can enjoy. The following recipe has batter sufficient for one loaf; I have doubled the ingredients to create two loaves and bake them at the same time. Eat one, and freeze the other. Enjoy. IMPORTANT: Please note nut ingredients. Omit nuts if there are allergy implications. This recipe was originally created by Tracy Holly, General Manager of the Cory Holly Institute. She writes for national magazines and is a lifestyle coach, lecturer and emcee. Tracy is a health and fitness activist and believes in natural medicine. Tracy is the author of "THE ATHLETE'S COOKBOOK", teaches Latin and ballroom dancing, and competes in Masters' Level Ms Fitness and natural body building. Tracy's recipe appears in the current issue of VISTA Magazine; a Canadian Health Publication.

BANANA BREAD - LOW FAT, HIGH FIBER
I started with the Flax Banana Bread recipe on the Red Mill site, then tweaked it a bit to remove fat and add some more whole grains. This is a hearty-tasting, moist and delicious banana bread that even my young kids enjoy!

PEAR BANANA BREAD LOW-FAT
This is my version of a traditional banana bread with a twist! Its very sweet, moist and down right delicious. While its not a fat free food it is low-fat compared to its traditional counter-part. Recipe makes 2 loafs, 6 serving per loaf. Tastes good cold or hot. With or without topping. Its super easy, and great for kids to help make! Try adding nuts or dry fruits to the mix right before baking for an extra texture and flavor element. == Note: When I made this recipe I used a kitchen aid stand mixer, if you don't have one; take a plastic bag, mush your bananas and pears together then add to a bowl and whisk all the materials together. Its super simple. Easily vegan if you use egg substitute. You will also need two medium sized bread loaf pans.****

BANANA - RASPBERRY BREAD LOW FAT
This is an excellent cake/bread recipe with very little fat. Notice there is no butter or oil, just bananas. I cut down to 2 larger bananas but it was a little dry so I did actually add just a little canola oil, but I definitely wouldn't have if I had used all 4 bananas. Also, I subbed in blueberries (frozen unthawed) for the raspberries because it's what I had. I stirred them in towards the end of the gentle mixing with a silicon spatula so they wouldn't get mashed up.
