I have been baking with Bob's Red Mill® organic whole wheat pastry flour for some time. I could never get my banana bread recipe right, until now. This is wonderful, easy, and best of all, I make it in my bread machine!

ORGANIC HERITAGE GRAIN BANANA BREAD

We love to eat bananas at our house, but don't always get to them before they brown. We don't let any go to waste, though - as soon as they're deemed too dark to eat, we toss them in the freezer, still in their peel, for future banana bread. The darker the better when it comes to bananas for this bread. Put 4-5 frozen bananas in a bowl in the refrigerator to thaw overnight, or if making banana bread the same day thaw them in their peels in a bowl of warm water. Once thawed, simply cut or tear open one end of the banana peel and the deliciously ripened banana will just slide out and into your bowl for easy mashing.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup packed organic brown sugar, light or dark
¾ tsp baking soda
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp organic ground cinnamon
¼ tsp organic ground nutmeg
¼ cup organic date sugar
2 cups organic Red Fife Organic Whole Wheat Flour
½ cup organic butter (1 stick), room temperature
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
1½ cups mashed ripe bananas (4-5 medium to large)
Optional:
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
-or-
½ chocolate chips
2 large organic eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease one bread loaf pan .
  • Note: If milling your own Red Fife flour, be sure to bolt, or sift out, some of the bran. One run through a 30 mesh sifter is sufficient to remove enough bran for a smooth, yet hearty texture.
  • Combine the softened butter, vanilla, and eggs in a small bowl and beat lightly.
  • Add the mashed bananas to this mixture and combine throughly.
  • In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (aside from the optional ingredients).
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir to fully incorporate.
  • Mix in optional ingredients at this time, should you wish to do so.
  • Using a rubber spatula , scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Place the pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. Loosely cover the top of the banana bread with a piece of aluminum foil and allow to bake another 10-15 minutes.
  • The banana bread is fully baked when a wooden skewer or a knife comes out clean after having been inserted into the center of the loaf.
  • Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Slice and enjoy.
