More Whole Wheat Recipes

I have a few more to share with you. These are recipes that I just recently made, so I know that they are good.

Whole Wheat Banana Bread

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

1/3 c. oil (I used canola oil)
1/2 c. honey

Mix these two ingredients together. Then mix in:

2 eggs

Add and mix in:

1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. mashed banana (this is about 5 bananas that are very ripe)

Add to batter:

1 3/4 c. whole wheat flour (I used white whole wheat)
1/2 tsp. salt

In a separate cup, mix together:

1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. hot water

Add baking soda and water to the batter and mix well. Don't over mix or bread will turn out tough. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean.

Whole Wheat Pancakes

1 TBSP honey
3 TBSP oil
1 c. buttermilk**
1 c. whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt

2 large eggs

Mix honey and oil together. Mix in buttermilk. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed in. Cook on hot griddle and add favorite toppings.

**If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a buttermilk substitute, which is what I did.

Buttermilk Substitute

Milk (just under one cup)
1 Tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice

Preparation:
1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup.

2. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line.

3. Let stand for five minutes. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.
