Whole-Grain Banana Bread
"This one-bowl banana bread — our 2018 Recipe of the Year — uses the simplest ingredients, but is incredibly moist and flavorful. While the recipe calls for a 50/50 mix of flours (all-purpose and whole wheat), we often make the bread 100% whole wheat, and honestly? No one can tell, it's that good! Baking gluten-free? For great results, substitute King Arthur Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour for both the the all-purpose and whole wheat flours in this recipe; no other changes needed...."
