The "New" Banana Bread

I thought I would start my blog with a bit of comfort food....cleaned up. This recipe, from Clean Eating Magazine, is perfect, fresh from the oven on a cold winter afternoon. Spelt flour has replaced the traditional white and the loaf is sweetened with agave instead of white sugar.
It is as delicious as it is nutritious and I love serving it up to my wee one for breakfast or snack. Enjoy!

1 ripe banana, mashed
3/4 c. ground flaxseed
2 egg whites
1/3 c. agave

3/4 c. whole wheat flour
3/4 c. spelt flour
1 tsp orange rind, grated

1/2 c chopped walnuts
