Wheat Flax Seed Banana Bread

·                                 I know this sounds really weird, but before you turn your nose up, read on.  I started the banana bread recipe from Cooking Light and realized I was out of some of the ingredients they called for so I decided to make a few substitutions and hope for the best.  It says on the side of the flax seed meal box that you can substitute it for any fat in a recipe, and since the only thing I had on had was shortening, I gave it a try. I ended up having to add in a little shortening and some milk because the dough was too dry.  It basically tasted like a sweet wheat bread.  Very good!

·                                  

·                                 1 cup all-purpose flour

·                                 1 cup whole wheat flour

·                                 1/2 tsp baking powder

·                                 1/2 tsp table salt

·                                 1/2 cup sugar

·                                 1 C Sour Cream

·                                 1/4 cup ground flax seed meal

·                                 1 Tbsp shortening

·                                 2 egg whites

·                                 1 egg

·                                 1 cup banana(s)

·                                 Fat free milk, as needed

Mix the first 5 ingredients.  In separate bowl, mix the Sour Cream and next 5 ingredients.  Pour the wet into the dry and mix to combine.  Add milk as necessary to turn mixture into a doughy consistency.  Cook in a 350 degree oven for 60 minutes or until the bread as passed the toothpick test.
