Choco-Banana & Walnut Wheat Bread

Looks like I am making lot of bread these days! :) This time I tried the wheat bread (no all-purpose flour). This was in my "to do" list since long. Finally, I did it! :D What composes the whole wheat bread varies from person to person. I wanted to make one without all-purpose flour. It came out to be a little moist, but the taste was just awesome.. :) Am I boasting or what? ;)



You have to try it out folks. Its healthy and the measurements can be adjusted as you like. I reduced the quantity of sugar to 1/2 t. Honey does the work of sweetening the bread. And then you have chocolate too :D



Ingredients
  • Whole wheat flour - 2 C
  • Bananas, mashed - 1 1/2C
  • Unsalted Butter - 1/2 C
  • Honey - 1/4 C
  • Cinnamon, ground - 1/2 t
  • Chocolate powder - 1/2 t
  • Vanilla extract - 1 t
  • Brown sugar - 2 T
  • Egg - 2
  • Baking soda - 3/4 t
  • Hot water - 1/4 C
  • Walnuts, chopped - 1/2 C
  • Salt - 1/2 t





Method
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla essense til they turn smooth.
  • Add bananas, honey and eggs and mix well.
  • Stir in flour and walnuts.
  • In a separate bowl, add baking soda to hot water and  stir well.
  • Add this mix water/baking soda mix to the batter.
  • Stir in the walnuts.
  • Pour the batter into a greased pan and leave it to rest for 10 mins.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Bake for 50 minutes (cover the batter with a foil and check if the bake is ready by inserting a toothpick into the center and making sure it comes out clean).
  • Remove fro the oven and keep it to cool.
  • Slice your yummy bread and serve. :)

    Nothing wrong with making a lot of bread - it's called quick bread for a reason.
