Moist Healthy Banana Bread

I'm always looking for ways to "healthy up" my recipes. Here is my banana bread that is so delicious you won't want to stop eating it! My 11 year old daughter makes this by herself (with mom's watchful eye of course).

3 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. soda
2 1/2 c. mashed ripe bananas (about 8)
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c. butter, melted & cooled (You can substitute vegetable oil)
1 c. chopped pecans
1/4 c. flax seeds

Stir together flour, salt and soda. Set aside. In another bowl, combine bananas and sugar. Add egg, vanilla and butter and blend. Chop pecans somewhat finely and add the flax seed to the chopped pecans. Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients. Mix until moistened. Pour into greased 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about 55 to 60 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes then remove from pan to completely cool. Cool before slicing. Freezes well.
