Honey Whole Wheat Banana Bread

For years, I looked for a tasty, low-sugar banana bread.  I substituted honey for sugar, I replaced the all-purpose with whole wheat… yet I could never achieve the right taste or consistency.  Then one day I discovered this recipe.  It’s perfect.  Whole wheat, no sugar, healthy oil.  It turns out perfect every time.  And so delicious.  We just had a loaf with our hearty chicken wild rice soup.  

The recipe is from Cookie + Kate.  Here are the ingredients:
