Whole Wheat Banana Bread

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) white whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) oil ((canola, vegetable, or melted coconut oil work fine))
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup (50 g) brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (60 g) plain Greek yogurt ((or sour cream))
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 large ripe bananas (, mashed well (about 1 1/4 cups mashed banana))

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

3. 3

   In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the oil, honey, brown sugar, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla until fully combined. Add in the mashed banana and mix until well combined.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over mix the batter. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

5. 5

   Bake for 40 to 50 minutes (mine is usually perfect right at 45 minutes) or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking if needed to prevent the bread from becoming too browned.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove the bread from the pan to a wire rack to finish cooling.

7. 7

   Cut into slices and enjoy!
