How to Make Healthy Banana Orange Flax Bread Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour, ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup plain yogurt, 1 large egg, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ cup orange juice concentrate.
  5. Mash 2 ripe bananas and add them to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Optionally, drizzle additional orange juice concentrate over the top of the cooling loaf for extra zing.
