Whole Wheat Banana Bread Recipe
Description
Whole Wheat Banana Bread Recipe uses a blend of whole wheat and all-purpose flours for a hearty base. Mashed bananas provide natural sweetness and moisture, complemented by honey and Greek yogurt. Coconut oil keeps the bread moist and adds a subtle richness. The batter is gently folded to maintain lightness before baking in a loaf pan. A toothpick inserted in the center tests doneness after about 50 minutes. Adding golden raisins is optional, giving occasional bursts of sweetness and texture contrast.
The resulting bread has a soft crumb with enough density from the whole wheat flour to feel substantial without being heavy. Its gentle sweetness makes it suitable for eating plain, or toasted with spreads. This bread is a good way to use overripe bananas before they spoil, thereby reducing waste.
The recipe involves typical baking techniques and ingredients, requiring patience during baking to achieve the ideal texture. It is suited for home bakers comfortable with mixing and folding batter and monitoring oven times. Once baked and cooled, it slices well and stores for several days.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup honey
- 4 egg
- 6 banana mashed
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2/3 cup coconut oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cup golden raisins optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Whisk the eggs and honey together. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- To the egg mixture, add banana, melted coconut oil, yogurt, and vanilla extract.
- In small portions, use a spatula to fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture. Once well-combined, add in the raisins.
- Pour the batter into a loaf pan.
- Bake bread for about 50 minutes. Check the doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, it's ready. Enjoy!
