Time 1h15m

Yield 2 Loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar
4 -6 bananas (dark)
4 cups whole wheat flour (pastry flour is fine)
1 1/2 cups ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs (or egg substitute)
1/2 cup oil
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray 2 loaf pans with non-stick spray.
Mash bananas.
Combine sugar, oil and egg--mixing until creamy.
Blend in mashed bananas.
In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour, ground flax seed, salt, baking soda. (Add the nuts to the dry ingredients at this point). Combine wet and dry ingredients, but do not overmix.
Pour batter into loaf pans and bake approximately 1 hour-testing with a toothpick at the hour, and then as needed.
Note: Because the batter is dense you will need to watch the baking time to be sure it is adequate--don't only go by color, flax seed will add darkness.

Don't let the fact that there is only 1 tablespoon of sugar fool you! This banana bread is super moist and has just the right amount of sweetness. Use very very ripe bananas for best results.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 loaf, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 -4 mashed bananas
1 tablespoon sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

Mix mashed bananas and sugar until the sugar has dissolved.
Beat eggs and add to bananas, blending well.
Sift dry ingredients and mix in with banana mixture.
If desired fold in nuts or chocolate chips.
Pour into greased 9x5 loaf pan and bake at 325 degrees for ~50 minute.

Tips:

Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter they will be, and the less sugar you will need to add to the bread.
Mash the bananas well. This will help to incorporate them into the batter and make the bread more moist.
Use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. This will help to bind the ingredients together and make the bread more nutritious.
Add a little bit of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. This will give the bread a warm, autumnal flavor.
Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.

Conclusion:

This easy lower-sugar banana flax bread is a delicious and healthy way to start your day. It is packed with fiber and nutrients, and it is also low in sugar and calories. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthy snack, this bread is a great option.
