WHOLE-GRAIN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Move oven rack to low position so that tops of pans will be in center of oven. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of two 8x4-inch loaf pans or one 9x5-inch loaf pan with shortening.
• In large bowl, mix sugar and margarine. Stir in eggs whites until well blended. Add bananas, yogurt and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients except cereal just until moistened. Stir in cereal. Pour into pans.
• Bake 8-inch loaves about 1 hour, 9-inch loaf about 1 hour 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (165 degrees Celsius) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, beat the oil and honey together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well, then whisk in the mashed bananas and milk. (If your coconut oil solidifies on contact with cold ingredients, simply let the bowl rest in a warm place for a few minutes, like on top of your stove, or warm it for about 10 seconds in the microwave.)
• Add the baking soda, vanilla, salt and cinnamon, and whisk to blend. Lastly, switch to a big spoon and stir in the flour, just until combined. Some lumps are ok! If you're adding any additional mix-ins, gently fold them in now.
• Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. If you'd like a pretty swirled effect, run the tip of a knife across the batter in a zig-zag pattern.
• Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (typically, if I haven't added any mix-ins, my bread is done at 55 minutes; if I have added mix-ins, it needs closer to 60 minutes). Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for at least 10 minutes. You may need to run a butter knife around the edges to loosen the bread from the pan. Carefully transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool before slicing.

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Melt butter.
• Put the butter, sugar, bananas and eggs in a blender. Blend until nice and smooth.
• Now transfer to a mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl, stir together flours, salt, and baking soda.
• Add dry ingredients to banana mixture alternately with hot water.
• Stir in chopped nuts.
• Cut a piece of waxed or parchment paper the size of the bottom of your loaf pan.
• (This helps the loaf come out in one piece while still warm).
• Put the paper in the loaf pan and spray the pan well with non-stick spray.
• Scoop the batter into the pan.
• Bake in a preheated 325 degree F oven for one hour and 10 minutes.
• Test with a cake tester to make to make sure it's done.
• Sometimes it takes a little bit longer.
• If the top gets too brown, cover it with a piece of aluminum foil so it doesn't get too much darker.
