My whole wheat banana bread completely blew my mind. To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations. This loaf was merely a way to get rid of 3 overly ripe bananas and a random jar of applesauce. I make my regular banana bread with butter and all-purpose flour because that’s where all the goodness hides. Well, after 1 bite of this “whatever, it won’t be good” banana bread, I was proven wrong.

I should have learned my lesson when I made the most soft and flavorful whole wheat pizza doughand these chocolate banana muffins.
Plus, this whole wheat banana bread slices and freezes like a dream. I love having a loaf on stand-by in the freezer for when I need homemade breakfast option or wholesome snack for all of us—adults and toddler alike. We all love it. (Especially with peanut butter spread on each slice!)
Did you know you can use your electric mixer to mash bananas? Break or slice your peeled spotty bananas into large pieces and place in the bowl of your stand mixer– or use a regular mixing bowl and your hand mixer. Begin beating on low, then gradually increase to medium-high speed as the bananas break down into mashed banana. You can use this bowl for the rest of the banana bread ingredients. I do this for my banana cake, too!
Whole Wheat Banana Bread {no Oil, Dairy Free} • Fit Mitten Kitchen
Yes, frozen and thawed bananas work in this recipe and you can read more aboutHow to Freeze & Thaw Bananas for Bakingif you’d like. Two important things to remember:
Unsweetened applesauce takes the place of butter or oil. Additionally, I’m very light-handed with the added sugars– we really want the banana flavor to shine through here. If you don’t want any added refined sweeteners in this healthier banana bread recipe, swap the brown sugar with coconut sugar. To keep this banana bread dairy free, use dairy free milk.
After that, mix the dry ingredients together and add to wet ingredients. You need whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mostly the same dry ingredients I use in my whole wheat banana nut muffins. Lastly, fold in chopped walnuts. The nuts are completely optional. Sometimes I add chocolate chips and/or raisins instead. I’ve even added the cinnamon layer from this cinnamon swirl banana bread.

Her kitchen-tested recipes and thorough step-by-step tutorials give readers the knowledge and confidence to bake from scratch. Sally has been featured onWhile drinking my morning coffee the other day, I came across a heartbreaking article in the New York Times about the shuttering of Ovenly, a beloved Brooklyn bakeshop known for its savory-sweet treats and socially-conscious business credo. This led me down an Internet rabbit hole, first to Ovenly’s website and Instagram page, then to Amazon to buy the Ovenly cookbook on my kindle. Before I knew it, I was pulling ingredients out of the fridge to bake Ovenly’s whole wheat banana bread and salted peanut butter cookies, to-do list be damned.
Banana Bread With Oil (no Butter Banana Bread)
Lucky for me, this type of “procrastibaking” still counts as work, and I’m excited to share the recipes with you. Made with flax meal and whole wheat flour, this banana bread is earthy and wholesome-tasting — and it’s a great way to up your family’s intake of healthy fiber. Using maple syrup as some of the sweetener adds a lovely flavor. It is best served slightly warm from the oven, when the crust is crisp and the bread is tender, but it keeps well on the countertop for several days.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for about ten minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.

Bowl Gluten Free Banana Bread
How is the beginning of the new year going for everyone? Mine has been a slow start. I think it always is. Maybe I’m sluggish from all the eating during the holidays. Maybe I’m being lazy from all the lounging and sleeping in, and my body is taking its time getting back into a routine. Who knows? Though I have been pretty good eating wise, and this healthy banana bread certainly helps.
This recipe is not that different from your traditional banana bread, except there are a few healthier substitutions. For example, I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of all-purpose flour. I used extra-virgin olive oil instead of vegetable oil or butter. I also used maple syrup instead of granulated white sugar, and only half the amount. I made sure my bananas were almost completely brown for the most flavorful and naturally sweet bananas.
The recipe is also pretty straight forward. You simply toss the dry ingredients and whisk all the wet ingredients. Then mix the two together, add in any additional mix-ins, and bake for about an hour.
