The ingredients for Banana Poppy Bread are:

* 2 medium mashed bananas
* 2 tbsp avocado oil (can use olive oil instead but avocado won't alter the flavor of the bread)
* 0.75 cup granulated or brown sugar
* 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract (you could also do half vanilla and half almond extract for a twist!)
* 1 large egg, beaten
* 1 tsp baking powder
* 0.5 tsp salt
* 3 tbsp of flax meal seed + 1 tbsp of water
* 3 tbsp poppy seeds
* 2 tbsp of all-purpose white or whole wheat flour
* optional 1-3 tbsp of water, to get batter to correct consistency

Here is how you make Banana Poppy Bread:

Preheat oven to 325F.Mix ingredients in order listed being careful not to overmix -- just until the ingredients are fully incorporated and there are no lumps. If using a power mixer, use the lowest setting. Mix until the batter is thick but still pourable. It should be thicker than a cake batter but not a heavy lump in the bottom of the bowl.Cooks in a bread pan (greased or nonstick) or in a round 8" cake pan (greased or nonstick).Bake for at least 40 minutes in a bread pan and at least 30 min in a cake pan, depending on your altitude and oven. A butter knife through the middle should come out cleanly when done. Be careful not to overbake as it will dry out because of the flax. Store in an airtight container and consume within 2-3 days for maximum freshness.Serving Size: Makes 8 hearty slicesNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SHINING_ON.
