"2 Tblsp flax seed meal "
4 Tblsp water
1 3/4 c. all purpose flour
1 1/4 c. quick cut oats
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
4 Tblsp brewers yeast sifted
1 tsp ground fenugreek
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 c. butter softened
3 eggs at room temp
1 c. sugar or 3/4 c. agave
1 1/4 c. mashed bananasabout 3 medium or 2 large bananas
2 Tblsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat your oven to 350. Grease a 10 inch loaf pan.
2. Mix together the flax seed meal and water in a small bowl or cup and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients (except the nuts).
4. Using a stand mixer on low speed combine the butter, eggs, sugar, banana and milk.
5. Add the vanilla and flax and turn up the speed to medium for about a minute.
6. Use a rubber spatula to incorporate the flour mixture into the banana mixture 1/3 at a time. Stir
in the nuts. Scrape into your greased loaf pan and place in preheated oven.
7. Bake 50-60 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely.
I used a dark bread pan and didn't realize that I shouldn't have reduced the oven temp by 25 degrees. Next time I'll use a little less Brewer's Yeast (it's bitter) and add a little brown sugar.
