Serves: 1 9x5 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup wheat germ or ground flaxseed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1½ cups mashed bananas
- ¼ cup extra light olive oil

- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan & preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine the oil, honey, eggs, vanilla, and mashed bananas in a bowl.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, wheat germ, salt, and baking soda. Make a well in dry ingredients, and add the banana mixture. Mix together until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in the nuts, if desired, and pour the batter into the prepared pan.
