whole wheat banana nut bread

How To Make whole wheat banana nut bread

• Step 1
  Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 8-by-5-by-3 inch loaf pan.
• Step 2
  Combine flour, wheat germ, baking soda, and salt in large bowl. (For a less dense loaf, substitute 1 cup of white flour for 1 cup of the whole wheat flour)
• Step 3
  If you have a food processor, combine eggs, banana, honey, vegetable oil, lemon juice and vanilla until well blended. If you are like me and don't have a food processor, I just mash it all together real good with a potato masher and give it a few good stirs with a rubber spatula
• Step 4
  Pour banana mixture over flour mixture and add walnuts (if you're using them). Stir with a rubber spatula just until blended
• Step 5
  Pour into prepared pan and bake until sides pull away from the pan and a pick inserted in the center comes out clean, between 45- 55 minutes.
• Step 6
  Cool on rack before removing from the pan.
• Step 7
  I'm not overly fond of walnuts; I prefer pecans. Sometimes I take about a cup of chopped pecans, toss them in a bowl with about a tablespoon of melted butter, stir them around in a hot skillet for a couple of minutes, let them cool off some and throw them in instead of walnuts. I like the toasted pecan flavor with the bananas!
