Janice’s Banana Bread

From the Catherine Bennett Dunster collection

Introduction

This recipe comes from my friend Janice, baker extraordinaire. I’ve adapted it to include healthy fats, soluble fibers, vegetable protein, and whole grains all in one bread.

Ingredients

1 cup mashed bananas
¼ cup canola oil
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
cups whole-wheat pastry flour
2 Tbsp. flaxseed meal
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
¾ tsp. ground ginger
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
1 large carrot, grated
¾ cup chopped walnuts

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix bananas, oil, vanilla, and sugar together. Measure into another bowl the dry ingredients: flour, flaxseed meal, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Stir dry ingredients into banana mixture until well incorporated. Fold in grated carrots and walnuts.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean and the top is nicely browned. Cool briefly on a rack before inverting the bread out of the pan to finishing cooling.

My kids polished off a loaf of this in less than 24 hours. It makes a great snack or breakfast, especially good with butter.

We just made this as muffins with the middle school youth group for our upcoming bake sale (takes 20-25 mins. baking for muffins). We shared the one I squashed, and everyone thought it was great. It’s esp. cool that it’s vegan. I sent my printed copy of the recipe home with one young woman whose aunt is vegan. She was very excited about having it.
