Pineapple Banana Walnut Bread or Muffins

By miss5elements

The bananas make this bread sweet & moist, and the walnuts create an interesting counterpoint to the banana flavor... I added pineapple & walnut oil which make it lighter & more filling.
This is a great breakfast treat.
Note: For a whole-grain banana bread, substitute 1c whole-grain spelt flour for 1c white spelt flour.
Also makes 1 dozen muffins.

Ingredients

• oil for pans
• 2 c white spelt flour
• 1 t salt
• 2 t baking soda
• 1/3 c EVOO
• 1/3 c walnut oil
• 1 c turbinado sugar
• 3 ripe bananas
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 c chopped walnuts
• 1 c chopped pineapple

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Prepare pans. If nonstick, they don't need greasing; otherwise oil & flour the pans. If you're making muffins, you can use paper liners.
3. Mix all dry ingredients in 1 bowl & all wet ingredients in another.
4. Blend/mash together & add walnuts for the last few turns with the spoon. Don't overmix the batter.
5. Fill prepared pans 3/4s full & bake 25-30min for muffins, 30-35min for prepared breads, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
6. Let cool on rack.
