I noticed that my bananas were going black and whenever that happens, you know what time it is?! BANANA BREAD MAKIN' TIME!! mmmmmmmm I absolutely LOVE banana bread especially when it is nice and moist!!!!<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
I got the recipe from this site: http://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipes/Dessert/Eggs-Dairy/recipe.html?dishid=5918

My pics:
Ingredients:
- 2 or 3 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup/250 ml)
- 1/4 cup honey (60 ml)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla (7 ml)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (60 ml)
- 1 cup plain yogurt, full fat (250 ml)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30 ml)
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (375 ml)
- 2 teaspoons baking soda (10 ml)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (2 ml)
- Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
- 1 ripe banana, sliced, to bake on top of bread as a garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Lightly grease a 4-inch X 8-inch loaf pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add the honey, vanilla, sugar, yogurt and oil. Mix with a spoon or spatula to combine.
- Sift flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg onto parchment paper or another bowl. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana mixture until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Line banana slices decoratively on top of the batter, if desired. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, until golden and tester comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Flip onto a wire rack and cool completely. Cut into 8 to 10 slices. Serve.
Also instead of using the yogurt, I used 3/4 butter milk and 1/4 apple sauce and I also added 1tsp of cinnamon. I think this recipe came out pretty good with the alterations, but I wonder if it would be any moister with the yogurt? Just like I'm on the search with soft Chocolate Chip cookies, I'm on the same search with finding a recipe that makes moist banana bread!!!
anyway enjoy :)
That banana bread looks outstanding.
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely. Seems like quite an unusual recipe from what I'm used to but I will try it out, sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI hate reading your blog around lunchtime.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have a piece of that bread, I can almos smell it... wait, it was the smell of the banana I had in my hand. Still, that bread looks tasty.
ReplyDeleteDelicious :D Makes me hungry every time I stop by here.
ReplyDeleteIf you changed the banana for something else, I'd eat it.
ReplyDeletelooks delicious. if only there was a way to smell/taste these creations via the computer screen, I'd be set.
ReplyDeleteOm nom nom i just did a banana bread yesterday, and i got sabotaged because they changed the temperature from 350 to 300 and i wondered why it wasnt done, so in the end it blew because it didnt get cooked right and i tried to fix it when i noticed the change that had been made but alas it failed...
ReplyDeleteI used to love banana bread, but i'm allergic to bananas, so i can't have any anymore. :<
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big banana fan - but it does look nice
ReplyDeleteLooks great! The idea of lining the banana slices on top of the loaf before baking sure makes a very nice looking sweet patch on each slice.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so good. I'd be searching for chocolate chip cookies too while waiting the 40 minutes! :D
ReplyDeleteThat middle strip looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteYours doesn't have exactly the same appeal! :P

ReplyDeleteBanana Bread is one of my favorite things of all time. My dad makes a killer banana bread, and I usually kill it in about a day with glasses of milk. Your recipe is different, but looks great.
