whole wheat banana bread with flax seed meal

hehehehe, if I didn't know better, I'd think this is a meatloaf!


Preheat oven to 350

Get out your bread pan - you could probably bake this also into a flat square baking pan - just play with it - same temperature, just a different cooking time. You do know, you have to grease the pan....


By memory it is:


1 cup of whole wheat

3/4 cup of white flour
3/4 cup of flax seed meal
2 eggs
1/3 cup of oil *
3/4 cup of sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
3 very ripe bananas

Assemble the wet ingredients and the dry ingredients and then add the wet to the dry. Mix by hand.  It will be stiff.  

Spoon it in the loaf pan - add the topping and press it down, on top of the bread. 


Bake at 350 for about 55-60 minutes


Topping


1/2 chopped walnuts

1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup of brown sugar



* if you don't want the fat you can always use the applesauce instead. I haven't but give it a try and then let me know how it was! 


This is not a sweet bread - the topping is what gives the sweetness and its crunchy and good.

Day 7 - Amish Friendship Bread - Do nothing

    Amish friendship bread or cake is your basic sweetened quick-bread. What makes it unique is the cup of starter you add to the batter, which adds leavening and a bit of sourdough tang to the final bread. This starter has (theoretically) been handed down through the generations from the Amish themselves. If followed exactly, each recipe makes enough starter for several loaves. You're then supposed to share this excess starter amongst your friends and thus continue propagating the recipe.
