Yield Makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, softened, for pan
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed (from about 2 tablespoons whole)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
1/2 cup walnuts (about 1 3/4 ounces), toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan, and set aside. Whisk together the flours, flaxseed, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl, and set aside.
  • Put egg and egg white in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix on medium-low speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and bananas, and mix until combined. Add the reserved flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated, about 10 seconds. Stir in walnuts.
  • Pour batter into buttered pan. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan on a wire rack. Invert bread to unmold; reinvert, and let cool completely on rack.

BANANA BREAD WITH WALNUTS AND FLAXSEED



Banana Bread with Walnuts and Flaxseed image

You can store the banana bread, wrapped well in plastic wrap, at room temperature up to 4 days.

Yield makes 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, softened, for the pan
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed (from about 2 tablespoons whole)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 large egg, plus 1 large egg white
1/2 cup light-brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup mashed very ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
1/2 cup walnuts (about 1 3/4 ounces), toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter a 9 × 5 × 3-inch loaf pan, and set aside. Whisk together the flours, flaxseed, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl, and set aside.
  • Put the egg and egg white in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and mix on medium-low speed until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and bananas, and mix until combined. Add the reserved flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated, about 10 seconds. Stir in the walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into the buttered pan. Bake until golden brown and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly in the pan on a wire rack. Unmold onto rack, and let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Properly measure your ingredients. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to measure dry ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense loaf of banana bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be. Look for bananas with dark yellow skin and brown spots.
  • Toast the walnuts. Toasting the walnuts will enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the banana bread. Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
  • Add flaxseed for a nutritional boost. Flaxseed is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants. Add 1/4 cup of ground flaxseed to the batter for a healthy boost.
  • Bake the banana bread at the right temperature. The ideal oven temperature for baking banana bread is 350°F. This will ensure that the bread cooks evenly without over-browning.
  • Let the banana bread cool before slicing. This will help the bread to set and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy walnuts, this banana bread with walnuts and flaxseed is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. It's a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
