The Joy of Making Banana Bread


Chocolate Walnut Banana Flax Bread

2-3 very ripe bananas
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
a handful of chopped walnuts and
 chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, mash the bananas, sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla with a potato masher – don’t worry about getting all the lumps out.

Add the flour, flax, baking soda and salt and stir until almost combined; add any additions and stir just until blended. Spread into a greased 8”x4” loaf pan (or 2-3 small loaf pans) and bake for 50-60 minutes, until golden and cracked on top and springy to the touch.

 
The recipe turned out really nice and moist. Definitely will make again.
