I changed this recipe a bit: Half brown suger (1 cup) and half white sugar. Added 2 tbls of vanilla removed salt and used 1/2 cup margarine and 1/2 cup canola oil. It was very moist, but I will probably use more vanilla and add cinnamon to the next try....Good luck!
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cps (12 1/2 oz) whole-wheat flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temp)
- 2 cups (1 lb) sugar
- 2 cups (1lb) mashed ripe banana (4 lrg bananas)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease and flour 2 medium (8 1/2") loaf pans.
In a med bowl, stir and toss together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside. In a lrg bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until well blended. Beat in the banana, then beat in the eggs until completely mixed - don't worry if the mixture looks curdled, this is only because of the moisture in the mixture. Stir in the nuts. Add the combined dry ingredients and stir until just blended.
Spread evenly in the 2 prepared pans. Bake until a thin wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean (55-65 min). Let the pan cool for 10 min, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
