    Here's a welcome variation on banana bread featuring much less sweetener than traditional recipes, and a double dose of whole grains (whole wheat and oats). The buttery flavor of pecans is an interesting departure too, but if they're not in the budget, substitute walnuts.

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 1/3 cup sugar
    • 1/3 cup honey
    • 2 eggs
    • 1/4 cup buttermilk (or sour milk)
    • 3 or 4 ripe bananas (1 1/2 cups mashed)
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 cups whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat)
    • 1/2 cup oatmeal
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup chopped pecans

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan.
    2. In large mixing bowl beat butter, sugar and honey til well blended. Beat in eggs. Mix in buttermilk, bananas and vanilla.
    3. Add flour, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pecans, and mix until well combined but do not overbeat.
    4. Push batter into prepared pan and bake about 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean (dark pans will bake faster so reduce time accordingly.)
    5. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
    6. Yield: 16 slices.
