ingredients

3 very ripe bananas (using medium sized bananas)
4 eggs
¹⁄₃ cup nonfat milk
¹⁄₃ cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon vanilla
¹⁄₂ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder (bread ~doubles in height while baking)
1 teaspoon salt
1 ³⁄₄ cups flour (I use half whole-wheat & half white)
1 ³⁄₄ cups oats
³⁄₄ cup smashed almonds (I've always used almonds or pecans, pounded with a hammer until they are like rough ground pepper)
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds

directions

Mix wet ingredients together in blender, adding oats & nuts gradually.
Mix wet mixture into dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Stir batter only enough to completely mix ingredients; don't over mix which will toughen the bread.
Pour batter into greased pans (sprinkled with granulated sugar if you want a crunchy sweet crust) and bake at 350 for 45 minutes-1 hour-do the knife test to check doneness or until the middle of the loaf is set, being careful not to burn the top and bottom of the loaf.
Bread will continue to cook in the middle after you take it out of the oven.

We made 1 loaf using all AP flour, 3 bananas and 1/4 cup coarsley chopped pecans for this recipe. The use of brown sugar gives this banana bread a wonderful unique flavor. We enjoy slices of banana bread toasted it in a buttered skillet. Made for PAC Fall 08' game.
