Ingredients

1/3 cup wheat berries

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tbsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup brown sugar

4 large over-ripe bananas, mashed

1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 tbsp canola oil

1/2 tbsp vanilla (use the real stuff if you can!)

Directions

Soak wheat berries in cool water for 8 hours. Drain, rinse and drain again.

Put the wheat berries in a sprouting container (a jar covered with mesh or pantyhose works) and place it in a cabinet or closet out of sunlight.

Rinse your wheat berries and drain them thoroughly every 8 hours for 2 days.

Bring a small pot of water to a boil.

Add sprouts, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain.

Transfer sprouts to a blender or small food processor and puree almost smooth (you won't get a perfect puree - trust me!). Set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease a loaf pan.

In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix wheat berry puree, brown sugar, mashed bananas, applesauce, oil and vanilla.

Add to the dry ingredients, stirring until just blended.

Bake for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool in pan 10 minutes before turning out to cool completely.
