Ingredients:
- 6 or 7 very ripe bananas
- 1 1/8 cups maple syrup
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Mix & mash the bananas, maple syrup, canola oil, and vanilla extract.
Sift together the pastry flour, baking soda, and salt. If you’re adding nuts, mix them in.
Blend the two mixtures and divide into 2 small lightly oiled loaf pans. Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes, or until center is set.
