Banana Bread
My youngest daughter asks for this almost daily. I keep aged bananas in the freezer so I can quickly throw this together.
3 large overripe bananas mashed
1 egg
½ cup butter melted
1 ½ cups multigrain flour (*see note below)
¼ cup ground flaxseeds
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
Preheat oven to 350F. Mix all ingredients together and pour into greased bread pan. Bake for 1 hour - test for doneness by inserting a knife. If it comes out clean, it’s done. If not, keep checking every 5 minutes.
*NOTE: There are a few choices for making your own multigrain flour. You can try to find one already made at a health food store, however, what I do is I combine 1/2 Barley Flour + 1/2 Oat Flour +1/2 cup ground whole grain cereal. Bob’s Red Mill has an 8-grain cereal that I love. I just grind it up in a small food processor. You can also substitute Spelt (1.25:1 ratio spelt:flour), Kamut, Brown Rice flour, etc. The bread may take more or less time depending on what you use, so check for doneness regularly. This is a very dense bread so it does take a while to bake.
