Banana Bread

This is another Deceptively Delicious recipe. It’s a good, classic banana bread that isn’t a dessert-type one. It was eaten very quickly and Ada loved it with some peanut butter on top for breakfast!

3/4 c. whole wheat flour

1/2 c. all-purpose flour

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. cinnamon (optional – I didn’t use)

1/2 c. brown sugar

1/4 c. canola or vegetable oil

2 large egg whites

1 1/2 c. banana puree

1/2 c. cauliflower puree

1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or 2 mini loaf pans, with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, mix dry ingredients & set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and oil with a wooden spoon until well combined. Mix in the egg whites, banana and cauliflower purees, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix just until combined.

Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, 55-60 minutes for the large loaf or 25-30 min. for the small loaves.

Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then turn the bread out of the pan to cool before serving.
