1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unbleached white whole wheat flour (such as King Arthur)

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1¼ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup low-fat buttermilk

cup canola oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1¼ cups mashed ripe bananas (about 4 small, 3 medium or 2 very large)

In large mixing bowl whisk flours, light brown sugar, baking powder, soda and salt. Set aside.

In medium bowl combine buttermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Add bananas and whisk until combined and mixture appears almost smooth. Pour liquid mixture into dry flour ingredients and whisk to combine. With mixer on medium speed, beat batter about 1 minute.
