The Healthy Whole Wheat Nut Butter Bread Recipe

I am always on the search for a good banana bread recipe. I was looking for one that was whole grain, low sugar and high protein, so I could feel good about giving it to my kids on a school day. I found the original recipe here. But I tweaked it a bit to fit my food preference.


Whole Wheat Nut Butter Bread
  • 1 cup King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 c brown sugar
  • 1/4 c ground flax seed
  • 1Tbs baking powder
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened Coconut milk ( I prefer So Delicious, but you can use regular milk if you prefer)
  • 1/3 cup soy nut butter (I just had some on hand, next time I will use PB)
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 large very ripe bananas
  • 1 tsp vanilla
Blend all the ingredients in a blender, or with a hand mixer. This is key to get all the ingredients smooth.

Pour wet mixture on top of dry mixture and stir with a spatula until well mixed.

Pour in a bread pan and bake for 50-60 min at 350.

After baking gently pop out of pan and while hot wrap in foil. Let it cool like this and you will have moist delicious banana bread. I let mine cool about 2 hours. Keep it wrapped in foil to keep moist.
