Clean Banana-Nut Bread...

Since my cleanse a couple months ago I've been more and more interested in eating "clean". I LOVE banana nut bread and I've adapted my recipe from Martha Stewart's. Hope you like it!

3 c. whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1 c. agave nectar
1 1/3 c. canola oil
2 Tbs. vanilla extract
1 Tbs. coconut extract
4 over-ripe mashed bananas
1 c. chopped pecans (or walnuts)
1/2 c. almond milk

  1. Preheat the oven to 350. Coat two loaf pans with cooking spray; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  2. In the bowl on an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, agave and oil on medium-low speed until combined. Beat in flour mixture. Add vanilla, coconut, bananas, nuts and milk and beat just to combine.
  3. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until cake tester comes clean, 45 minutes (in my oven). ENJOY!!
I typically keep one to enjoy now and freeze or share the other.
