Ingredients

  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter - softened (1 stick)
  • ½ cup Dark Brown Sugar Light or
  • ¾ tsp Baking soda

  • ½ tsp Cinnamon Ground

  • cups bananas Mashed (about 3 medium very ripe )
  • ¼ cup Honey

  • 2 cups Whole wheat flour (I used KAF white whole wheat flour)
  • ½ cup Walnuts - chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9"x5" loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Beat the butter, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla in a medium mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Add the banana, honey and eggs, beating until smooth.
  • Add the flour and nuts, stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and let it rest for room temperature, uncovered for 10 minutes.
  • Bake the bread for 50 minutes. Lay a piece of foil gently across the top, and bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean, 10~15 minutes more.
  • Remove the bread from the oven, and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before turning it out of the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
