Servings: persons

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup flaxseed meal
1/4 cup wheat germ
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 teaspoon sea salt
2 cups chopped walnuts
4 eggs
2 cups brown sugar
2/3 cup sunflower seed oil
1/3 cup roasted walnut oil
1/4 cup plain yogurt
5 large ripe bananas, coarsely mashed, or more to taste
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Butter two 8x4-inch loaf pans.
2
Whisk whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, wheat germ, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir walnuts into dry ingredients.
3
Beat eggs and brown sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Add sunflower seed oil, walnut oil, and yogurt; beat to combine. Stir in mashed bananas and vanilla extract.
4
Pour egg mixture over dry ingredients and mix briefly, until just moistened. Divide batter between loaf pans.
5
Bake loaves in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove pans from the oven and let sit 5 minutes, then remove loaves to cool on wire racks.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
