Banana Bran Bread

 Wanda recently shared a banana bran bread recipe that I had to try.  It is perfect for husband M who is diabetic.  He loved it.  I put a pat of butter on my slice, it is good.  I have already made it twice, the second time I didn't even put any butter on top.  I made some substitutions to the recipe as follows:

1 c whole wheat flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1c wheat bran

1 c mashed banana (2 very ripe ones)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

8 tbs butter

1/2c brown sugar

1/2c chopped walnuts (optional)

Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt

In another bowl mix cereal, bananas, eggs, vanilla, let stand 5 mins to allow bran to absorb

mix butter (I melt my butter) and sugar,  add flour, and cereal mix alternately. Stir in nuts.

Spread into buttered loaf pan.

bake at 350F 40-45 mins.
