Over the last few weeks, I’ve had a grand ole time using ripe bananas and whole wheat flour to make some really delicious food. It all started with the Whole Wheat Banana Bread Muffins. After those were a success, I decided to make this Whole Wheat Banana Bread.
The aroma of this bread wafting through the house as it was cooking away in the oven was heavenly. I was hoping that when I pulled it out of the oven, the taste would match up to the aroma…and it did!
We were packing for our big move, but I still had to sit down and enjoy a slice of this delicious bread with a big glass of milk.
This recipe can easily be doubled and I’d recommend making two loaves. They’ll go quickly! I can pretty much guarantee it.
