Ingredients
  

  • 1¾ cups (210g) whole wheat flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup pecans or walnuts lightly toasted and roughly chopped
  • 2 large ripe bananas
  • ¼ cup (60ml) milk
  • ⅓ cup (80ml) oil
  • ½ cup (100g) dark or light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup (80g) plain yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch loaf pan with non-stick oil spray or butter and set aside.
  • Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add chopped nuts and mix until incorporated.
  • Take bananas and milk in a blender jar and blend into a smooth puree. Set aside.
  • Add oil, sugar, yogurt, and vanilla to a large bowl. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  • Add banana puree and mix well. Now, add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake the whole wheat banana bread for 45-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and place it on the wire rack. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before removing it and slicing.

Storing Suggestions

  • Store the whole wheat banana bread, tightly covered, at room temperature for two days.
  • The leftovers can be stored tightly covered in the fridge for up to four days. Before serving, bring the bread slices to room temperature or microwave for a few seconds.

Notes

  1. Whole Wheat Flour: You can use any whole wheat flour of your choice. However, do not use the coarse flour.
  2. Sugar: I used brown sugar, but you can use granulated, raw, or cane sugar.
  3. Bananas: Do not mash the bananas; puree them as mentioned in the recipe.
  4. Add-Ins: You can use lightly toasted and chopped walnuts instead of pecans. Or, add raisins or chocolate chips if you do not want to add nuts.
  5. Baking: If your whole wheat banana bread is browning too quickly on top, after 30-35 minutes of baking, loosely cover the bread with aluminum foil and continue baking for the remaining time.
