Whole Wheat Banana Bread
Description
This banana bread blends whole wheat flour with sugar, baking powder, salt, and walnuts to add texture and depth. The wet ingredients include eggs, cooking oil, and mashed bananas, mixed until just combined to maintain a tender crumb.
Baked at 350°F for about 45 minutes in a greased loaf pan, it produces a golden crust with a soft, moist inside where the banana flavor stands out alongside the nutty bite of walnuts. The whole wheat flour adds a subtle earthiness and heartiness to the bread.
This bread suits breakfast or a snack and can be enhanced with various mix-ins like mini chocolate chips or cinnamon chips to modify the flavor. It is a handy way to use overripe bananas, preventing waste.
Before baking, testing the baking powder for freshness ensures proper rising. The bread pairs well with butter or simply eaten plain, and it keeps well stored for a few days.
