This tasty banana bread makes a perfect picnic snack or dessert. Simply wrap a loaf tightly in waxed paper and seal the ends to keep it moist.
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1/4 c. orange juice
- 1/4 c. olive oil
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 c. sugar
- 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
- 1 c. all purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 c. chopped walnuts
- Cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees.
Using an electric mixer, combine the bananas, orange juice, olive oil, eggs and sugar. Add the whole wheat and all purpose flour, baking powder and salt and mix to combine. Stir in the walnuts to evenly distribute them.
Spray two mini loaf pans with cooking spray and divide the batter evenly between the pans. Bake the bread for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of each loaf comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Yields: Each loaf serves 4 people
- Preparation Time: about 1 hour
