I always buy quite a few bananas on the weekend and take them to work for a snack during the week. But sometimes I end up with a few overripe bananas that I hate to just throw away.<\/p>\n<p>Occasionally I will&nbsp;slice them up and freeze them for smoothies, but lately I&#8217;ve been trying to find new ways to bake with them in a little bit of a healthier way. I decided to start with a healthier banana bread recipe, and I have to tell you I&#8217;m so happy with how this turned out. It is sooo good!<\/p>\n<p>The best thing about this bread is that it&#8217;s moist and perfectly&nbsp;sweet, but it&#8217;s not overloaded with oil, butter, or sugar. &nbsp;You can serve this for breakfast, a snack, or dessert and feel good about eating it too.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3155 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Whole-Wheat-Banana-Bread-2.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A loaf of whole wheat banana bread.

Here&#8217;s what you&#8217;ll need to make this banana bread with wheat flour:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>White whole wheat flour:&nbsp;<\/strong>Can be found alongside the all-purpose flour in the baking aisle. If you can&#8217;t find any white whole wheat flour, you may replace it with 3\/4 cup all-purpose flour and 3\/4 cup of whole wheat flour.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking soda:&nbsp;<\/strong>Helps the bread rise in the oven.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:&nbsp;<\/strong>Balances out the sweetness of the batter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oil:&nbsp;<\/strong>Feel free to use canola, vegetable, or melted coconut oil.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honey:&nbsp;<\/strong>Sweetens this healthier banana bread.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:&nbsp;<\/strong>To keep this bread on the lighter side, I only used 1\/4 cup of brown sugar. For the entire loaf, it&#8217;s really not much sugar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greek yogurt:&nbsp;<\/strong>Plain Greek yogurt or sour cream can be used.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:&nbsp;<\/strong>Need to be at room temperature before making the batter.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:&nbsp;<\/strong>Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bananas:&nbsp;<\/strong>You&#8217;ll need three ripe bananas for this recipe, which is about 1 1\/4 cups.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Make Whole Wheat Banana Bread<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ll start with the white whole wheat flour. Have you tried it before? &nbsp;I&#8217;m completely obsessed with it and I love using it to bake with when I&#8217;m baking a little bit healthier. You&#8217;ll mix the flour with&nbsp;a little baking soda and some salt and set it aside.<\/p>\n<p>Then you&#8217;ll mix&nbsp;together the wet ingredients, a little bit of oil, brown sugar, honey, Greek yogurt (sour cream works just fine too), a couple of eggs, some vanilla, and three large mashed bananas.<\/p>\n<p>Mix the dry ingredients into the wet, then pour the batter into a 9&#215;5-inch loaf pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3157 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Whole-Wheat-Banana-Bread.jpg?resize=680%2C1020&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Two slices of banana bread with wheat flour on a white plate.

I recommend wrapping the slices tightly with plastic wrap and storing them in a freezer bag or container in the freezer. Thaw to room temperature before serving or reheat individual slices in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"baking-tips\">\n<h2>Baking Tips<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>If needed, cover the bread loosely with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking to prevent the bread from becoming too browned.<\/li>\n<li>I kept this easy healthy banana bread recipe simple, but you&#8217;re welcome to add mix-ins like chopped nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit, etc.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve only sweetened this simple banana bread with honey and brown sugar, but you may be able to use maple syrup in place of the honey.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>More Banana Recipes to Try!&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/classic-banana-bread-recipe\/\"
