Healthy Banana Bread.

Bananas are great, and I always buy a bunch of them at a time. But after a few days, they are getting too ripe to eat. At that stage, they're sweeter and more soft, which makes them perfect to bake with. This is my recipe for a healthy banana bread. It's great for breakfast or a quick snack during the day. 





For 1 banana bread, you will need:

1 cup (about 128 grams) of whole wheat flour
1 cup (about 128 grams) of all purpose flour
1/4 cup (about 60 ml) of any flavourless oil 
2 whole eggs
2 tablespoons of sugar (you can use sugar substitute)
3 ripe bananas
1 heaping teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Eventually 2 tablespoons of low-fat milk

- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit (175 degrees celsius).
- Line a loaf-pan with parchmentpaper, and set it aside.
- In a large bowl using a whisk, combine the eggs with the sugar, baking powder and cinnamon.
- On a plate, mash the bananas until they're completely mashed. Add the mashed bananas to the egg mixture and whisk until combined.
- Add in the flours and fold it in using a spatula. If the batter is really thick at this point, add in 2 tablespoons of low-fat milk.

- Pour the batter into your prepared loaf-pan. Tap the pan onto the surface to get rid of any air-bubbles.
- Bake the banana bread in the oven for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center, comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the loaf-pan for about 10 minutes, and then transer it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
