Ultimate Banana Walnut Flax Bread Recipe: A Nutty, Healthy Twist
  • Prep Time
    30 mins
  • Cook Time
    1 hr 15 mins
  • Total Time
    1 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of wholesome whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup of nutrient-rich flaxseed meal
  • ¼ cup of wholesome wheat germ
  • 2 teaspoons of baking soda for leavening
  • 1 teaspoon of aromatic ground cinnamon
  • ⅓ teaspoon of sea salt for balance
  • 2 cups of finely chopped walnuts for crunch
  • 4 large eggs for binding
  • 2 cups of rich brown sugar for sweetness
  • ⅔ cup of sunflower seed oil for moisture
  • ⅓ cup of flavorful roasted walnut oil
  • ¼ cup of creamy plain yogurt
  • 5 large ripe bananas, coarsely mashed for natural sweetness
  • 2 teaspoons of fragrant vanilla extract for depth

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), then generously butter two 8x4-inch loaf pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the wholesome whole wheat flour, nutty flaxseed meal, nutritious wheat germ, baking soda, fragrant cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Toss in some crunchy walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 3

In another bowl, whip together eggs and rich brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture becomes thick and pale, taking about 3 minutes. Introduce sunflower seed oil, luscious walnut oil, and creamy yogurt into the mix, blending until smooth. Fold in mashed bananas and aromatic vanilla extract for a delightful twist.

Step 4

Gently pour the egg mixture over the dry ingredients, giving it a quick stir until everything is just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.

Step 5

Let the loaves bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, which should take around 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once baked, allow the pans to rest for 5 minutes before transferring the golden loaves onto wire racks to cool completely.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your flaxseed meal in an airtight container in the refrigerator to preserve its freshness and prevent it from going rancid.
  2. 2. Store ripe bananas in the freezer for future use in your banana walnut flax bread. Simply peel and slice them before freezing in a resealable bag for easy access.
