Banana Bread (Training Food)

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 cup plain flour

1/2 cup oat flour (just use your blender to grind up some rolled oats) or sub and extra 1/2 whole wheat flour

4 oz butter – let it soften

2 eggs

3/8 cup maple syrup (if this hurts your head it is one 1/4 cup plus another half a 1/4 cup. ;-))

1/4 cup white sugar

2 ripe bananas mashed – If you have an old mushy banana even better. I throw old bananas when they are really dark in the freezer – while I am letting the butter soften, I get them out. Be sure to save the juices as they unfreeze.

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

Directions

1. Mash the bananas and set aside.
2. Mix butter (let it soften) and sugar with an electric mixer for 2 minutes 
3. Add Maple Syrup and eggs – mix for one minute
4. Mix in bananas for 1 minute
5. Add flour (1/2 cup at a time) – mix in by hand so flour does not fly everywhere
6. Add vanilla & baking power

Bake for 40 minutes @ 340F — NOTE >> I live just above 7000ft – see suggestions below if you do not live at altitude.  If you make adjustments, please let me know and I will update this post.
