Whole Wheat Banana Bread: HBinFive

The second bread in the July 1st Healthy Bread in Five Minutes Bread Braid is Whole Wheat Banana Bread. I had a bunch of overripe bananas in my refrigerator that were almost past their prime so this was good timing.

This particular banana bread is a yeasted banana bread rather than a quick bread. It is made with a combination of white whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour and honey and oil rather than sugar and butter. I’ve made yeasted banana bread before and wasn’t too impressed so I didn’t know what to expect with this bread. I guess I’m just partial to the banana bread that I grew up eating.

I didn’t make the Banana Bread this time but I’m wondering if you saute the bananas in butter and then added the bananas and the butter if this would improve the flavor?

I think you are right on in noting that this is not a sweet quick bread but an entirely different animal. I have noticed that with several of the yeasted breads where they are different from our expectations based on what we are used to. And different is not always bad, just different.

I agree with Old Pop, these breads are a lot different from the batter breads.

Im so happy to see that your bread was flat on top like mine. I thought I’d messed up LOL. I really liked this bread toasted with peanut butter.
