Heavenly Healthy Banana Bread

 

It's heavenly...
 

½ cup 

 

butter, softened

 

½ cup 

 

brown sugar, packed (light or dark)

 

1 tsp 

 

vanilla extract

 

¾ tsp 

 

baking soda

 

½ tsp 

 

salt

 

1½ cups 

 

mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium to large bananas)

 

¼ cup 

 

honey

 

2 large 

 

eggs

 

2 cups 

 

whole wheat flour

 

½ cup 

 

chopped walnuts (optional)

 

 

1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

2

In large bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Add the bananas, honey and eggs, beating until smooth. Add the flour, then the walnuts (if using), stirring until smooth. Spoon the batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top. Let it rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.

3

Bake the bread for 50 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil over the top, to prevent over-browning. Bake for an additional 10 minutes, then remove bread from oven. A long toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center should come out clean. Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Cool completely on a rack.

 

Yield: 1 loaf
