Moist, tender, and nutritious banana bread with the rich flavors of walnuts and flax seeds. Not too sweet!
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup flaxseed meal
- ¼ cup wheat germ
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/3 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups chopped walnuts
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 2/3 cup sunflower seed oil
- 1/3 cup roasted walnut oil
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
- 5 large ripe bananas, coarsely mashed, or more to taste
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter two 8×4-inch loaf pans.
Step 2
Whisk whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, wheat germ, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir walnuts into dry ingredients.
Step 3
Beat eggs and brown sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Add sunflower seed oil, walnut oil, and yogurt; beat to combine. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Pour egg mixture over dry ingredients and mix briefly, until just moistened. Divide batter between loaf pans.
Step 5
Bake loaves in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove pans from the oven and let sit 5 minutes, then remove loaves to cool on wire racks.
Cook’s Note:
Substitute turbinado sugar for the brown sugar if desired.
