Banana Bread

My kiddos love this bread!!! It is one of their favorite breakfast treats. Who could resist thick slices of homemade banana bread, a plate of fresh fruit and a glass of icy cold milk??? I'm just saying ;-) I have cleaned up my recipe by using white whole wheat flour and succanat instead of white sugar...the kids have no clue that I have tweaked the original recipe!

4 ripe bananas
2 eggs
2 cups white whole wheat flour
3/4 cup succanat***
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts or dark chocolate, optional

Preheat oven to 350. Spray loaf pan with flour spray. In a medium bowl mash bananas and add eggs. Beat eggs and bananas together. Add dry ingredients and stir to thoroughly combine. Add nuts or chocolate and blend. Bake in oven for 55-60 minutes. Remove bread from pan and let cool on baker's rack.

*** You can find succanat right next to the regular sugar in most large stores...or head to Whole Foods.
