Delicious and Healthy Nut Butter Banana Bread

I am always on the search for a good banana bread recipe.  My kids and I love it.  I was looking for one that was whole grain, low sugar and high protein, so I could feel good about giving it to my kids on a school day.  I found the original recipe here.  But I tweaked it a bit to fit my food preference.

Whole Wheat Nut Butter Banana Bread

Dry Ingredients:

1 cup King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c ground flax seed
1Tbs baking powder

Toss together with a whisk and set aside



Wet Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup unsweetened Coconut milk ( I prefer So Delicious, but you can use regular milk if you prefer)
1/3 cup soy nut butter (I just had some on hand, next time I will use PB)
1 Egg
2 large very ripe bananas
1 tsp vanilla

Blend all wet ingredients in a blender, or with a hand mixer.  This is key to get all wet ingredients smooth.
Pour wet mixture on top of dry mixture and stir with a spatula until well mixed.
Pour in a bread pan and bake for 50-60 min at 350.

After baking gently pop out of pan and while hot wrap in foil.  Let it cool like this and you will have moist delicious banana bread. I let mine cool about 2 hours.  Keep it wrapped in foil to keep moist. 


This was so good the kids asked it they could have it for dessert.
