I make this on Sundays (2 loaves) as quick breakfast on the go! Both the big guy and the little guy love it too.

Ingredients
Combine in a large bowl:
1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/2 cup ground flax seed (or additional 1/2 cup of flour)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
-
Combine separately
3 lg very ripe bananas (about 1&1/2c) – mashed
2 eggs
1/4 cup agave syrup
1/2 cup yogurt or low fat milk (whichever is in fridge!)
2 tsp vanilla or 1 Tbsp dark rum (hollah!)
you can also add a couple of large carrots … pulverized in food processor
raisins, if you like or chopped dried apricots.
If i have a questionable apple or pear around i’ll put that in food processor too and combine.
-
Mix wet and dry until just incorporated.
-
Optional: Fold in approximately:
1/2 c chopped walnuts or pecans
1/3 – 1/2 c dark chocolate pieces
1/2 c chopped dates

Directions
Pour into a generously greased and dusted loaf pan – any smallish pan will work.
Bake at 350 for about 50 min – a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean.
Wait 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a rack to cool.
Enjoy
