1 1/2c. ripe, mashed banana (~3)
1 T. (heaping) honey
1/4c. canola oil
1 egg, beaten
1 t. almond extract
1 c. whole wheat flour

Cooking spray, 4 x 8 loaf pan, 2 mixing bowls
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large metal bowl, mash bananas. Add honey, oil, egg, and almond extract and stir to mix well.
  3. In a second bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Stir into banana mixture and mix in the nuts.
  4. Spray the loaf pan with cooking spray and coat with flour. Turn bread batter into pan and bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a wooden toothpick into the middle and removing. If it comes out clean, the banana bread is done. Begin checking after 35 minutes.
