Recipe - Healthful Banana Bread

1 One half cup Whole wheat flour
One half cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
2 teaspoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Baking soda
One half teaspoon Salt; optional
1 cup Ripe or overripe banana;
mashed
3 tablespoon Vegetable oil
2 tablespoon Honey

Preheat oven to 350F. Lighly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan or coat with
vegetable spray.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, coconut, baking powder, baking soda,
and salt (optional). In another mixing bowl, combine the banana, oil, and
honey.

Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients just until combined. (Do
not overmix.) The batter should be lumpy and stiff.

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and bake until a tester
(toothpick) inserted in the center comes out clean, about 4550 minutes.

Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan about 10 minutes, then turn it
out of the pan and cool completely on a rack.

Exchanges: 1 starch/bread
1 fat

NOTES : For low fat version, substitute applesauce for oil. I make
homemade applesauce with no sugar.
