Banana bread ( Martha Shulman)


                                               Nutritious, healthy and yummy.





Recipe from Martha Shulman
Ingredients
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup raw brown (turbinado) sugar or packed light brown sugar ( I used honey instead)
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt or buttermilk
1 cup mashed bananas ( 2 very riped bananas)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnut(optional)


Methods 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees with a rack in the middle. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf, line the bottom with parchment.
Sift the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
Using a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and "ribbon"when lifted with a spatula, 5 to 8 minutes ( I just hand whisked it).
Beat in the oil, yogurt or buttermilk, bananas and vanilla.
At low speed, beat in the flour in 3 batches.
Fold in the nuts.
Transfer batter onto the pan and bake in preheated oven of 50 to 60 minutes.
Insert a skewer deep down in the centre, if it's come out clean, it is done.
Let it cool completely.
