How to Make Healthier Banana Bread
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup canola oil and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the 3 mashed bananas and 2 large eggs; mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup wheat germ, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the 1/2 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup chopped nuts (if using).
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, wrap in aluminum foil for longer freshness.
