From Laura Lawrence! Thanks!
Ingredients
(12 servings/1 loaf)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
½ cup honey (oil the measuring cup to easily remove the honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 ripe bananas)
1 ¾ cups whole wheat flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ cup hot boiling water
½ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a large bowl, beat with a mixer the oil and honey together. Add eggs and mix well. Stir in bananas and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt. Add the baking soda to the hot water, stir to mix, and then add to the batter. Blend in chopped nuts.
- Spread batter into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes (check at 55 minutes), the baking time varies with every oven. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the bread comes out clean.
- Cool on wire rack for ½ hour before slicing.
Variations to recipe:
- For Muffins - adjust baking time to 20-22 minutes.
- For chocolate based bread, add 2 tablespoons dutch cocoa powder with the flour. Mix into batter. Also for more intense chocolate add, ~1/2 cup of bittersweet chocolate chips when adding the walnuts.
- Additionally, any type of dried fruit can be added to the bread batter.
