Yes, We Cook!

So as is the experience of most people, when you need to use up your ripe bananas a classic banana bread always seems to be the best way to do so.  This turned out fabulous!

What you will need:

1 c all-purpose flour

1/3 c whole wheat flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1 c mashed banana (2-3 medium)

3/4 c packed brown sugar

1/4 c fat free milk

2 egg whites

2 tsps canola oil

1/4 c chopped walnuts, toasted (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350 and prep your loaf pan.

2. In a large bowl sitr together all purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt.  Make a well in the center.

3. In another bowl combine mashed banana, brown sugar, milk, eggs whites, and oil.  Add this mixture to flour mixture and stir just until moistened.  If desired, stir in 2 tbsp of walnuts and spoon batter into prepared loaf pan.  You can also sprinkle more walnuts on top.

4. Bake for about 45 mins.  Cool in pan on wire rack for 10 mins and then remove bread from pan.  Cool on wire rack.  [The recipe states to wrap and store overnight before slicing but if you're like me you won't wait because your house will smell of sweet temptation.]
