banana nut bread

This recipe makes 1 large loaf, but can easily be doubled or tripled. Extra loaves can be frozen for another time.

ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups whole wheat cake flour
• 2 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 1/4 cup mashed banana pulp (yield from about 2 medium bananas)
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts

method

Sift into a medium bowl the flour, baking powder and salt.

In large bowl, mix together oil and sugar. Beat in eggs, then banana.

Add sifted ingredients about a third at a time, beating until smooth after each addition.

Mix in nuts.

TIP: The easiest way to chop nuts is to stick them in a heavy plastic bag (like a ziploc) and hammer them.

Pour batter into greased bread pan and bake at 350 degrees for an hour.

Cool completly on rack before slicing.
