This bread can easily be halved, if two breads are more than you need. Good with or without nuts and, if you have a sweet tooth, add 1 cup chocolate chips.
Ingredients
2 ½ cups King Arthur white whole-wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
2 cups mashed ripe banana (4 large bananas)
4 extra-large eggs
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until blended. Beat in banana, then beat in eggs until completely mixed. Stir in nuts (and/or chocolate chips). Add combined dry ingredients and stir just until blended.
Spread evenly into 2 greased and floured loaf pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, approximately 55 minutes. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Yield: 2 loaves
