In an attempt to eat more whole grains, I purchased a pkg of Gold Medal Whole Wheat flour. Here's the recipe from the back of the bag: I don't think I've ever tried bread with bananas and raisins but it was VERY good, definitely a keeper.
Banana-Raisin Whole Wheat Bread
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups mashed very ripe bananas (3-4 medium)
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup raisins
2/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt (1 Yoplait sized cont.)
1/2 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg product or 2 eggs (Yeah, I used 2 eggs...actually, I only had one but it was still good...not sure about this egg product stuff)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1. Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottoms only of two 8x4-inch loaf pans or one 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. Stir together all ingredients until blended. Pour into pans.
3. Bake 8-inch loaves 50-60 minutes, 9-inch loaf 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Loosen sides of loaves from pans; remove from pans and place top side up on wire rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours, before slicing. Wrap tightly and store at room temperatue up to 4 days, or refrigerate up to 10 days. 24 slices per loaf.
We also tried a whole wheat pizza crust recipe (does contain some white flour too), from oprah.com which was pretty good. http://www.oprah.com/foodhome/food/recipes/food_20030623_dough.jhtml Now I'm on to looking for more whole grain recipes.

tasty! i'll have to get back into making healthy things soon here. this one seems like a good start.
p.s. thanks for the invite...i wish we could've been there but i had a VT brunch to attend...hope it was a fun time!
Sounds tasty. I love baking with King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour. It's a softer whole grain, and it works perfectly in pancakes and waffles and muffins.
Thank you! I will have to give it a try.
