My dad made this bread for years to the delight to our family. Pair it with a dish of fruit and a cup of coffee for breakfast. Yum! The flax seed meal gives a great texture without altering the flavor.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed

  • 1 cup self-rising flour

  • ¼ cup flax seed meal

  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan, or line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.

  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the bananas.

  4. Mix in the self-rising flour and flax seed meal until just incorporated; fold in the walnuts.

  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes for muffins, or 1 hour for a loaf. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Cook's Notes

If you don't have the milled flax seed, substitute 1/4 cup self-rising flour.

Editor's Note:

No self-rising flour? Make your own with all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a little salt.
