Banana Bread with Coconut and Walnuts (Greek Yogurt too)

Banana Bread with Coconut and Walnuts

Ingredients:              (*) see below for changes

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour (*)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

1 cup sugar (*)

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (*)

1 1/2 cups coarsely mashed ripe bananas (about 3)

1/2 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup walnut halves

(*) My changes to match my new way of eating:

flour à  1 c. Oat flour, ¼ c. tapioca starch, ¼ c. almond flour

sugar à 1/2 cup 100% apple concentrate, 1/2 cup Stevia

Oil à grapeseed or Olive oil 

(Note: do not change this oil to applesauce - you need this oil; the greek yogurt already cuts the oil amount down as much as possible)

How to Make It

Step 1- Preheat oven to 350°F. 

Step 2- In a bowl, whisk together first 4 ingredients. 

Step 3- In a large bowl, beat sugar and eggs until thick. Stir in oil, bananas, yogurt and vanilla. Fold in flour mix, coconut and walnuts.

Step 4- Pour into greased (*) 9-by 5-inch pan. Bake for 75 minutes. Let cool on rack. Cut and enjoy!

Cooking tip: Tent the loaf with foil if it gets too dark before it's cooked.

(*) Use coconut oil to grease pans
