Banana-Flower Bread

This moist bread has two kinds of flour and one kind of flower. It tastes great and packs a nutritional punch.

3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large egg whites
1 1/2 cups smashed bananas
1/2 cup cauliflower puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. In a bowl, mix the flours with the baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon.

3. In a mixing bowl, mix the sugar and oil with a wooden spoon until well combined. Mix in the egg whites, banana, cauliflower puree, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and mix just until combined.

4. Pour the batter into the loaf pan. Bake 55-60 minute or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then turn the bread out of the pan to cool before serving.
