The refrigerator light goes on...

This recipe is the perfect one to make on a weekend so that you have a great healthy breakfast throughout the week. Using the Z-sweet or allulose makes this a lower calorie choice without all the sugar in most quickbreads but with a lot of added fiber from the whole grain flour and the wheat germ.

Cooking Time: 90 Minutes

This healthy recipe can be multiplied by 2, but you'll need to use two loaf pans. Bread will keep for 72 - 96 hours in a plastic bag. Reheat gently. This will freeze fairly well if sealed tightly in a plastic bag.

Using the whisk mash the bananas into the mixture until smooth.

Place the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and wheat germ in a sifter
