Whole grain sprouted flour is the secret ingredient to quick breads that bake up with a delightfully light, tender, and tasty crumb. This particular banana bread recipe is especially delicious because of the added spices and cinnamon sugar topping that imparts that welcome crunch! 

Ingredients

Bread

  • 2 ½ cups Sprouted whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup melted butter 1 “stick” of butter
  • 1 cup Dried cane juice or other sugar
  • 3 ½ teaspoons Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon, ground
  • 1 teaspoon Cloves, ground
  • 1 teaspoon Allspice, ground
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • â…“ cup Sour cream
  • 2 Eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup Pecans, chopped dusted with a pinch of the flour
  • 3 Very ripe bananas, mashed

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon Demerara sugar or other large crystallized sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions 

  • Heat oven to 350°F (177°C).
  • Grease bottom of a 9" x 5" loaf pan. Cut out a piece of parchment paper to fit the dimensions of the bottom of the loaf pan and place it into the loaf pan. Butter the top of the parchment paper.
  • Put all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix by hand until all the ingredients are just incorporated. Do not over mix.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top.
  • Make the topping by mixing together the Demerara sugar and the cinnamon. Sprinkle on the top of the banana bread mixture.
  • Place loaf pan onto the center rack of the pre-heated oven.
  • Bake for approximately 60 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the banana bread. If it comes out clean, the bread is done. If not, continue to bake it and recheck it after 5 minutes.
  • Once the banana bread is done, remove it to a cooling rack and run a knife along the edge of the loaf pan between the bread and the pan. Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes. Then place a second cooling rack over the top of the loaf pan and invert it. The banana bread should release from the loaf pan easily. Place the bread right side up onto the original cooling rack.
  • Continue to allow the bread to cool for another 10 minutes, then slice the bread with a serrated knife and enjoy! The bread will stay fresh for one week in the refrigerator if wrapped well.

Notes

The pan you use for baking matters. If you are using a glass loaf pan, the banana bread will most likely take 70 minutes to bake.  If you are using a metal pan, the bread will most likely finish baking after 60 minutes but be sure to check for doneness using a toothpick as described in the recipe.
Store cinnamon banana bread in the refrigerator. The bread will stay fresh for one week in the refrigerator if wrapped well.
The riper your bananas, the more sweetness they contribute to the banana bread.
Do not overmix your banana bread. You want to mix just until all the ingredients come together. If it’s overmixed it may turn out a bit tough.
