Whole Wheat Olive Oil Banana Bread

What you will need:

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup whole wheat flour

1 tsp salt

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

In a separate bowl, blend together:

6 Tbsp Patricia and Paul Butter infused EVOO

2/3 cup sugar

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Fold in until combined:

1 cup mashed, very ripe bananas (about 2)

½ cup toasted, chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Thoroughly grease a standard loaf pan.

In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients.

Combine the wet ingredients in the bowl with the dry ingredients until just incorporated…do not over mix. Scrape the batter into loaf pan and spread evenly.

Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Let cool in the pan on rack for 5-10 minutes before un-molding to cool completely on rack.
