Banana Bread

The best bananas for baking are the overripe, brown, mushy ones...Don't throw them away! Bake with them or freeze them and make a smoothie!!!

Banana Bread

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup banana puree
1/3 cup applesauce
1 TBSP canola extract
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup soy or coconut mylk

Pre heat oven to 350°.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together your flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a small mixing bowl combine, puréed banana, applesauce, oil, and Soymylk and whisk ingredients together. Pour wet ingredients into the bowl with your dry ingredients, and use a spatula or electric hand mixer to combine thoroughly. Scrape the edges of your bowl to ensure there are no dry patches or lumps. If you'd like, fold in half a cup of pecans, semi sweet chocolate chips, or dried cranberries.
Lightly grease a bread or cake pan (these can also be made into muffins) and fill no more than just over an inch high. Bake for 30 minutes or until firm, golden, and a toothpick inserted in the middle, all the way to the bottom, comes out clean. Let cool before cutting. Serve warm.
