Banana Walnut Bread With Olive Oil Recipes

ULTRA-MOIST HEALTHY BANANA BREAD (MADE WITH OLIVE OIL)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to generously grease the bottom and sides of a loaf pan. It's OK if some pools at the bottom.
• In a large bowl, mix the remaining olive oil (just under 1/2 cup) with the brown sugar (1/2 cup).
• Add the eggs and mix for about 1 minute.
• Add the bananas (see notes) and mix together.
• Stir in the baking soda, kosher salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract (1 teaspoon of each).
• Stir in the whole wheat flour (1/2 cup) and the all-purpose flour (1 cup) until just incorporated and no dry spots remain.
• Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
• Allow to cool in pan for at least 10 minutes. It should pop right out if you flip the pan upside-down, but if you need to give it a boost you can run a knife along the sides before flipping it over.
• Cut the banana bread into 10 slices. I recommend serving it warm with salted butter spread on top.

BANANA WALNUT BREAD WITH OLIVE OIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the olive oil and honey. Now add the eggs and whisk again to combine.
• Now add the bananas yogurt, milk, baking soda, vanilla extract, cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk again.
• Using a spatula, stir in the flour; then add the dates and walnuts and stir the batter again until everything is well combined.
• Lightly oil a non-stick a 9 x 5 loaf pan like this one. Pour the batter into the loaf pan and shake very gently so it evens out.
• Bake in the 325 degrees F heated-oven. After 50 minutes or so, test by inserting a toothpick in a few places. If only a couple moist crumbs cling to it, remove it from the oven. If it needs a little more time, give it 5 more minutes or so.
• Remove from the oven and let the bread cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to cool on a wire rack for another 20 minutes or so. Slice and enjoy!
