eruthrosMade some pretty fabulous banana bread yesterday to an extremely modified recipe. We had these really ripe bananas, see, and needed to bake to heat the house, and didn't have any brown sugar, or a lemon, or many eggs or anything.
Banana Bread:
3.5 c whole wheat pastry flour
5 t baking powder
1 t salt
Sift together and set aside
1 c of white sugar
drizzle (approx. 1-2 T) of blackstrap molasses
5/6 c unsalted butter (this is one 1/4 c stick plus 1/3 c from another stick)
Finely-grated zest from one orange
Mix until creamy; then beat in:
5 medium-sized bananas
1 egg
Juice from that same orange
Slowly add flour mixture to liquids. Beat in as many toasted pecans as you like. Bake at 350* in bread tins (approx. 1 hour) or in baking tins (approx. 40 min).
Final product is very banana and orangey, and is very good when hot.
