How to Make Wholesome Whole Grain Banana Bread

The best time to make this bread is at night so it can be ready for breakfast in the morning. It takes less than ten minutes to pull together.

Reasons to Upgrade to a High Fiber, Low Fat Breakfast

There are several reasons to upgrade to high fiber and low fat eating. Eating more fiber helps the bowel to eliminate its contents thoroughly with very little effort. The fiber presses against the bowel wall causing peristalsis and elimination occurs on a regular basis. This regular elimination prevents the build-up of foreign bacterial sources that can cause bowel cancer. Low fat eating is a better choice for most in that it helps in weight control. Training youth to choose a lower fat version of a food early in life trains the palette to enjoy food with less fat. In addition, fond memories of early childhood nurturing will be based in healthy food options. Starting the day with this nutritious and tasty alternative to regular banana bread will help start the day with meeting one-third of the bodies total fiber requirement.

How to Bake the Banana Bread

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place banana mixture in the oven for one hour. Fifty minutes into the bake cycle check for doneness. Insert a toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean, take it out. If the toothpick does not come out clean, return the banana bread to the oven for the additional ten minutes. Let cool for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy.
