Banana Bread

Our take on the classic banana bread uses equal parts AP and whole wheat flour to add a bit more fibre and nutrients without sacrificing the flavour.

Cook Time:
60 min

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup ( 60 mL ) butter, softened
  • ¾ cup ( 175 mL ) sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • ⅓ cup ( 75 mL ) plain low-fat yogurt
  • 1 tsp ( 5 mL ) vanilla
  • 1 cup ( 250 mL ) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup ( 250 mL ) whole wheat flour
  • ¾ tsp ( 4 mL ) baking soda
  • ¼ tsp ( 1.25 mL ) salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray to coat an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. In a large bowl, cream butter. Gradually add in sugar to form a smooth mixture; add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add bananas, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt; add to banana mixture; stir just until moist. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
  4. Makes 1 loaf (14 slices).
