DESCRIPTION
Banana Bread (whole wheat)

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Muffins Quickbreads Scones
INSTRUCTIONS
This recipe is from The Country Inn and Bed & Breakfast Cookbook by Kitty and Lucian Maynard. It was contributed by the Poipu Plantation in Koloa, Hawaii.

2 eggs
3-4 bananas, mashed
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup honey (I prefer 3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup raisins

Combine all ingredients and bake in a 375-degree oven for approximately 45 minutes. Makes one loaf.

Some of the recipes in this book don't give detailed instructions. And this one doesn't specify a loaf size, but if you put in the nuts and raisins, you will need to use a 9x5 or a combination of smaller pans. Bake at 325-convection if you have it. Be careful not to overbake, as that will make the bread dry. Adding more honey not only tastes better, but gives the bread more moisture.

I prefer to mix wet and dry ingredients separately and then stir together just to combine: Mix the flour, soda and salt together, and stir in the nuts and raisins if using. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and oil together and add the honey. Mash the bananas with the lemon juice and stir into the honey mixture. Combine with the flour mixture.
