I'm always searching for healthy recipes, and this flaxseed banana bread filled the bill. The flax seeds give the bread a really nutty taste.
Ingredients:
½ cup flax seed
3 bananas, mashed
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup flax seed
½ cup chopped pitted dates
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.
Grind 1/2 cup flax seed in an electric coffee grinder or food processor; set aside.
Beat together banana, oil, sugar, and eggs in a large bowl. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground flax seed, and 1/4 cup whole flax seed in a separate bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into banana mixture. Fold in dates. Spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the loaf comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
