BANANA NUT BREAD AND APPLE MUFFINS FROM "A.J. WHOLE WHEAT PANCAKE MIX"

Steps:
- 1. Full directions are on the box of whole wheat pancake mix, by A.J. THESE ARE WONDERFUL RECIPES, WHICH I WILL USE MANY TIMES. THEY ARE QUICK, EASY AND PERFECT.
- 2. The Apple-Walnut Muffins are made in several steps: First you measure the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and set aside.
- 3. In a medium sized bowl, mix one egg, one cup milk, one tablespoon oil, one small or individual-size serving of "Natural" apple sauce (unsweetened); and blend together.
- 4. Measure out one and one/half cups of POST Raisin Bran Cereal, and stir into the liquid ingredients.
- 5. The Granny Smith apple needs to be cored, peeled and shredded. I prefer to use one large G.S. Apple. I also use 1 cup of chopped walnuts, coarsely chopped.
- 6. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir in the apple and walnuts.
- 7. Have a twelve-cup Medium-size muffin pan sprayed with oil, and an ice-cream scoop also sprayed with oil ready. The oven should be preheated to 425 degrees.
- 8. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and bake for at least 25 minutes. Remove tin and let rest on the counter on a cake rack for a few minutes, then loosen muffins. Enjoy one (or two) while warm with a nice hot cup of coffee for breakfast each morning! We do!

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA WALNUT BREAD WITH COCONUT OIL
I altered the Starbucks banana bread recipe to include my favorite substitutions and made it extra "banana-y". The whole wheat flour makes it healthier, the agave lowers the glycemic index, and the coconut oil and extra banana helps this "healthy" version taste better.

WHOLE WHEAT OAT BANANA BREAD
Very gooey and yummy, this is my favorite Banana bread recipe. TIPS: Buy whole wheat flour that has NOT been bleached. Use only PURE honey. Use Almond, Rice or Soy milk (try not to use cow milk). Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil has the best taste and has no extra junk in it. Use real vanilla extract, imitation has too many chemicals and not as good a flavor. Has plenty of fiber to help cleanse the colon which is always the best place to start cleaning for a successful diet and a healthy lifestyle.

WHOLE WHEAT PEANUT BUTTER-BANANA BREAD WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS
This is so moist and delicious. It is by far the best banana bread I've ever had. I got this recipe from Vegetarian Times. I used regular crunchy peanut butter and decreased the sugar a little bit. It worked fine, but as a general rule, it really is better to buy the all-natural kind with no trans-fat and no added sugar.

Steps:
- combine 1st 5 ingredients.
- in food processor blend orange slices and bananas.
- combine with 1st 5 ingredients.
- add remaining ingredients and stir until moistened.
- pour into 2 loaf pans sprayed with cooking spray.
- bake at 350 for 40-45 minute.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. You can also use overripe bananas, just be sure to mash them well.
- Measure your flour correctly: The best way to measure flour is to use a kitchen scale. However, if you don't have a kitchen scale, you can use a measuring cup. Just be sure to spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your banana bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the banana bread at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking banana bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake it at a higher temperature, the outside of the bread will cook too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
- Let the banana bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Whole wheat banana bread is a delicious and healthy treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. It is also a great way to use up overripe bananas. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is perfect for bakers of all skill levels.
