Ingredients
1/3 cup wheat berries1 1/2 cups whole-wheat pastry flour2 tsp baking powder1/2 tbsp cinnamon1/2 tsp ground ginger1/4 tsp salt1/2 cup brown sugar4 large over-ripe bananas, mashed1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce1 tbsp canola oil1/2 tbsp vanilla (use the real stuff if you can!)
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.
