Whole Wheat Banana Bread

  • Experimented making a "no" sugar banana bread recipe this morning; in quotes because I used Truvia.
  • Mix (with a fork or whisk):
  • 3 ripe bananas
  • 1/4c coconut oil
  • 1/4c canola oil
  • 1/4c unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 Truvia baking blend (sugar substitute)
  • 2 eggs
  • 3tbsp 1% milk
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2tsp cinnamon
  • In a separate bowl, whisk:
  • 1c whole wheat flour
  • 1c unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1tsp baking soda
  • 1/2tsp baking powder
  • 1/2tsp sea salt
  • 1/2c chopped pecans
Blend flour mixture with wet mixture using spatula and add to a greased (I used coconut oil) 9x5" baking pan. Topped with sesame seeds and baked for 60 minutes in a 350 degree preheated oven; cover with aluminum foil around 50 minutes if top is getting too brown.

Test for doneness with a cake tester and remove pan to a cooling rack for 10 minutes before removing bread from pan. Let bread cool 40 (30 if you're impatient:) additional minutes (a good time to meditate:)
Before baking.

Cooling on rack for 10 minutes

Cooling on the rack for an additional 30-40 minutes will test your patience:)



A slight brownish color in the middle of the loaf; not sure what? Taste is ok; not great. A bit dry and certainly not sweet. Will try without mixing oils next time.
