Whole wheat flour and wheat germ give a mild, nutty undertone that complements the chopped pecans in this honey-sweetened bread.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups mashed bananas
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
PREPARATION:
Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C).
Combine oil, honey, eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas in a bowl.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, salt, and baking soda. Make a well in dry ingredients, and add the banana mixture. Mix together until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake 1 hour in preheated oven. Test for doneness, and cool on wire rack.
