Flax Seed Bread with Banana and Walnuts

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 325°F (165°C) and greasing two 8x4-inch loaf pans with butter. In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, wheat germ, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and then toss in the walnuts. In another bowl, beat the eggs and brown sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 3 minutes. Add the sunflower seed oil, walnut oil, and yogurt to the eggs and mix until everything is well combined. Stir in the mashed bananas and vanilla extract. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ones and gently fold them together just until the batter is moistened. Divide the batter evenly between your prepared pans and pop them in the oven. Bake for around 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, let the loaves sit in the pans for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
