Whole Wheat Banana Bread

This is not only my favorite banana bread recipe, but quick and easy to prepare. I always pull this out when I have a few very ripe bananas around the house. And, you can feel even better about fixing this bread for your family knowing that it’s a bit healthier with the added whole wheat flour.

After the loaf has cooled on a wire rack, I slice the whole loaf and place it in a zip-lock bag for storage. This makes it convenient for the family to grab a slice and the bread stays moist.

I hope you enjoy making this banana bread as much as I have.
