    Method: 

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly oil an 8-1/2- x 4-1/2-inch loaf pan.

    In a large bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, amaranth flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together bananas, eggs, yogurt, oil and sugar. Add banana mixture to flour mixture and stir just until combined. Fold in 1/2 cup walnuts. Pour batter into prepared pan and top with remaining 1/4 cup walnuts.
