PowerSeed Banana Loaf

Not-your-average banana loaf packed with nutritional punch. Walnuts, chia, sunflower and pumpkin seeds give this PowerSeed Banana Loaf a nutty, delicious flavour.

PowerSeed Banana Loaf

This, most certainly, is NOT your average banana loaf.

Similar to my Peanut Butter Banana Bread, I decided that it was 1000% necessary to add a little bit of flare to my standard banana bread recipe. Plain banana bread, though incredibly delicious, has made one too many appearances in my kitchen lately.

Seeds are a fantastic way to add a little bit of extra fibre, vitamins and minerals to your baking. In this recipe I used chia, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, and threw in some walnuts for good measure. If you’re baking for someone with a nut allergy, you could absolutely omit the walnuts and swap for more of the pumpkin or sunflower seeds.

Happy Spring baking, I hope you enjoy your very own PowerSeed Banana Loaf 🙂

Ingredients

  • 3 extra ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1.5 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  • 1.5 tablespoons pumpkin seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together mashed bananas, canola oil, brown sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined. Stir in eggs and plain Greek yogurt.
  3. Add whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and baking soda. Stir just until flour is mixed in. Gently fold in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and chopped walnuts.
  4. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle top of the loaf with remaining 1 teaspoon of chia seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. With your hand, gently press the seeds in so they stick to the top of the loaf while baking.
  5. Bake for about 55 minutes or until a tester placed into the centre of the loaf comes out clean.
