This one uses a small amount of canola oil instead &#8211; which is much better for your heart. Substitute the sugar with honey and you get added flavour. Don&#8217;t use regular whole-wheat flour if you can help it. It is too heavy for this recipe. Look for whole-wheat pastry flour instead.<\/p>\n<p>For a more decadent Banana Cake, try this recipe:<\/p>\n<div class='tie-fluid-width-video-wrapper tie-ignore-fitvid' style='margin-bottom: 30px;'>\n\t\t\t<iframe style='width: 100%; min-height: 300px; aspect-ratio: 16\/9;' src='https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/LtZtpixiQsU' loading='lazy'><\/iframe>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.food.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Food.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-below-post-content\">\n<div class='tenancy_slot tenancy_slot_1 jannah_ad' style='display: none;' data-query-id='89d1a7c45176f2fbcf309b35fc9a08cc'><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> In the spirit of Banana Bread Day, don\u2019t let your bananas rot, make use of this easy recipe and share it with someone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7783,"featured_media":128776,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"Caxton Central","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,3686],"tags":[9200,9954,9955,9956,5189,1083,9957,1165],"class_list":["post-128775","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment-news","category-lifestyle-news","tag-baking","tag-banana","tag-banana-bread-banana-cake","tag-banana-recipes","tag-cake","tag-food","tag-pastry","tag-recipes"],"amp_enabled":true,"category_labels":{"Category":"Lifestyle","SubCategory":"Entertainment"},"tag_labels":["baking","banana","banana bread. banana cake","banana recipes","cake","food","pastry","Recipes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7783"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=128775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/128775\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=128775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=128775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/germiston-city-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=128775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
