Ingredients

1 cup cooked amaranth

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

2 tsp. baking powder

½ cup chopped walnuts

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3)

½ cup liquid honey

2 eggs

3 Tbsp melted butter or olive oil

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and walnuts. Mix well. In a separate bowl, beat bananas, honey, eggs, butter, and vanilla until blended.  Add amaranth and mix well. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  3. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack.


Variations: Substitute 1 cup cooked millet and amaranth for the cup of cooked amaranth. Swap half of the bananas for ½ cup finely chopped soft dates.
