Banana Nut Bread - Coffee Companion

This is a delicious banana nut bread made with agave instead of sugar and baked in a cookie tray.  The method makes for a firmer bread that is dippable, has a shorter baking time and of course I used a Christmas themed cookie tray so it's festive.

Shanana nut bread:
.5 cup agave
1/3 cup canola oil
1 tsp organic vanilla extract
2 egg whites
2 bananas, hand smashed
.5 cup unbleached all purpose flour
.75 cup whole wheat flour
.5 tsp nusalt (or salt)
1 tsp baking soda
1 handful of whole pecans, then chop them
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Mix together wet ingredients in one bowl and dry in another, make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet.
Use your hand to make sure the dough is fully combined, add nuts
The dough should be viscous, not watery or doughy.
Spoon in dough until cookie mold is covered
Bake at 350F for 15 minutes
Dip in coffee, eat and try not to finish them all in one sitting.
Christmas shapes!
