Whole Wheat Banana Bread

*This was sorta experimental. Chris and I are trying not to eat white flour and refined sugars. This makes deserts pretty much impossible to have. This recipe helps satisfies that sweet tooth-that I have too much of -and it is pretty healthy {if you ask me...and my opinion totally counts!} I even got to use my wheat grinder! That thing is going to get used a ton from here on out.  Anywho...try it out and let me know what you think.

1/3 c. oil
1/2 c. honey
2 eggs
3 bananas, mashed {see tip}
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 Tbsp. dough enhancer
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. hot water

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl beat oil and honey. Add eggs and mix well. Stir in mashed bananas, cinnamon, and vanilla. Stir in flour, dough enhancer and salt. Add baking soda to hot water-stir and then mix into batter. Pour into greased bread pans. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

{TIP: to mash bananas without a mess, squish bananas while they are still in the peel. Cut the bottom tip and then you can squeeze the mashed bananas into the bowl.}
