Whole Wheat Banana Bread Recipe with Jaggery for Kids
Banana bread is a great way to reuse overripe bananas, but most recipes use white flour and sugar. Here is a healthier version that is whole wheat and sweetened with jaggery.

Ingredients
- 2 cups of whole wheat
- 1/2 cup together almond slices and cashews
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 3-5 cardamoms
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup jaggery
- 1 cup yogurt or buttermilk
- 1/2 cup cold butter
Instructions
- Sieve all the dry ingredients together and mix them well.
- Mash the bananas in a bowl.
- Add the powered jaggery to the mashed banana and mix well.
- Crumble the butter with your fingers into the banana jaggery mix and add yoghurt. Combine well.
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients together and add the slivered almonds and cashew pieces (my son hates cashews so I try to disguise them in cakes and bread).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.. Grease and flour a loaf pan.
- Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. The baking time depends upon your oven, so keep checking in between to prevent it from burning.
- The loaf is ready when a tooth pick inserted into it comes out clean. Cool the loaf before cutting and serving.
- Note - Baking powder and soda can be omitted if you like, although I haven't tried it.
