Mom's Banana Blueberry Health Bread

This recipe is courtesy of my mom and some over-ripe bananas. :) It is super moist and very tasty. I like to eat it as-is, but toasting it is also very popular around the house.

Ingredients (Makes one 8x4 loaf):
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup flaxseed meal
¼ cup oat bran hot cereal
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt

3 medium, ripe bananas
½ cup sugar
1 egg
2 egg whites
½ cup yogurt
¼ cup canola oil
½ cup chopped, toasted walnuts
1 cup blueberries
¼ cup Nestle Toll House mini morsels


    •    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8x4 inch loaf pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

    •    Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, flax seed and oats in a bowl. Stir well.

    •    Combine banana, sugar, egg, egg whites, yogurt, oil; beat with a mixer at medium speed until blended.

    •    Add flour mixture to banana mixture, beat at low speed just until evenly blended. Stir in walnuts, chocolate chips, and blueberries. Pour into loaf pan.

    •    Bake 70 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    •    Cool in pan for 15 minutes, removed from pan and allow to cool.
