Since we live in Colorado, I am always on the lookout for high-altitude bread recipes. Much easier than worrying about conversions or hoping that a recipe designed for sea-level will turn out! This one turns out great every time! You can also add about 1/2 c of chopped nuts, dried fruit, and/or chocolate chips. Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter, softened |
2 eggs |
2 -3 bananas, very ripe |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 1/3 cups flour |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine butter, eggs, sugar, and mashed bananas in bowl. Bananas should be finely mashed, there can be small (1 cm or less) chunks of banana in the batter.
3. Combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon in another bowl.
4. Mix wet and dry ingredients together until well blended.
5. If you would like to add optional ingredients (chopped nuts, dried fruit, and/or chocolate chips), stir in about 1/2 cup here.
6. Pour dough into 1 greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
7. Bake at 350F for 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
8. Let bread cool in pan for 5-10 minutes before removing.
9. Enjoy hot or cold!
