(Mostly) Whole Wheat Banana Bread

This is our family’s favorite banana bread recipe. For a change of pace, or if you only want to use one bowl or you’re committed to 100% whole wheat, try Rebekah’s Whole Wheat Banana Bread too.

I usually double the recipe and give one away or freeze one.

Preheat oven to 350 and grease 9x5 loaf pan.

Bowl 1 (large bowl):

· ½ c. butter, softened

· ¾ c. brown sugar

· 1 egg.

Cream butter and sugar till light and creamy; beat in egg. (Works fine by hand.)

Bowl 2: Sift together

· 1 c. whole wheat flour

· ½ cup white flour

· 1 tsp. baking soda

· ¾ tsp. salt

Bowl 3: Combine

· 1 ¼ c. mashed banana (2 large or 3 small)

· ¼ c. buttermilk or yogurt

Add dry ingredients alternately with banana stuff to butter mixture, stirring just enough to combine well.

Bake 50-60 min. or till toothpick comes out clean.

Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.
