Whole Wheat Banana Bread

This is one of the best tasting (and nutritious) banana breads out there. Years ago I got this recipe out of the Adelle Davis cookbook, Food for a Small Planet. It really is good.

1/4  cup butter or margerine
2/3  cup  honey
3  eggs
1  cup  mashed ripe bananas
1/3  cup  water
1  tsp  vanilla
1/4  cup  dry milk powder
1  tsp  salt
2  tsp  baking powder
1  tsp  baking soda
2  cups  whole wheat flour
1/2  cup  chopped nuts

Cream together butter, honey, and eggs. Add mashed bananas, water, and vanilla. Mix well.

Add dry ingredients, stirring by hand to just moisten. Stir in nuts. Pour into greased load pan and bake @325 for 1-hour, plus 5 - 10 minutes. It will look done, but it has a tendency to fall in the middle when cooling, if it is taken out too soon. So be sure to fully bake it.
