Banana Bread

adapted from Flour Bakery's recipe
  • 1 C all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 C white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 C sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 C oil
  • 3-4 bananas, roughly mashed
  • 1/4 C buttermilk (or 2 TBSP sour cream)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2/3 C chocolate chips (or walnuts)
Preheat oven to 335°F.
Sift together first four ingredients.
Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy. At least 3 min, if not more.
Drizzle in oil.
Add bananas (make sure they're not pureed- some good chunks of banana are part of what make this bread so good), buttermilk, and vanilla.
Fold in flour mixture and chocolate chips/nuts.
Pour batter into a greased 9" x 4" loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Or in 4 mini loaf pans for 35-40 min
