Ingredients
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
2/3 cup unbleached cane sugar or 2/3 cup beet sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 large banana, coarsely mashed (2/3 to 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup filtered water
2 tablespoons olive oil or safflower oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup finely chopped nuts of choice
2/3 cup unbleached cane sugar or 2/3 cup beet sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 large banana, coarsely mashed (2/3 to 3/4 cup)
1/2 cup filtered water
2 tablespoons olive oil or safflower oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup finely chopped nuts of choice
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil an 8 x 4 x 2 1/2-inch loaf pan and set aside. Place the flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until well combined. Whisk in the banana, water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top and press them in gently with your hand.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool slightly before cutting it. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, Banana Nut Bread will keep for 3 to 5 days.
