1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed (from about 2 tablespoons whole)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

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.
