BANANA BREAD


This is my favorite thing to make with over ripe bananas!  I have used the same recipe for years and have made it a bit more nutritious this time.  By using whole wheat flour, only using 3/4 cup sugar and adding ground flax seed.

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour or whole wheat or a combo of the two
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup white sugar, preferably organic
1/2 cup chopped nuts
2 eggs
1 cup mashed over ripe bananas
1/2 cup vegetable or olive oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup ground flax seed, optional

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray or butter loaf pan.
Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in a bowl.  Add bananas, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix.  Add nuts and flax seed (optional).
Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 60 minutes.
