Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Banana Bread

As always with my breads and muffins, this bread is 100% whole wheat, low sugar, made without oil or butter, and full of all sorts of nutritious and delicious ingredients.

Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Banana Bread

Ingredients:

Dry:

• 1 & 1/2 C whole wheat pastry flour (NOT regular WW flour — too dense)
• 3/4 C oats
• 1/3 C brown sugar (or 1/2 C if you like your bread sweeter)
• 1/4 C finely ground flaxseed
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. cinnamon

Wet:

• 1 & 1/4 C skim milk
• 1/3 C creamy peanut butter (I used salted)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 large very ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350.

In two separate bowls, mix dry, then wet, and then combine, adding wet to dry and stirring gently until the mixture is uniform-ish. Pour mixture into a non-stick or cooking sprayed bread/loaf pan (mine is 9×5) and sprinkle oats on top to make it look pretty. Bake 1 hour — do a fork check near the end to test done-ness.
