Are you a banana bread lover? Sometimes plain vanilla just doesn't cut it. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup olive oil or butter, depends on how southern you want it |
1/2 cup honey |
2/3 cup brown sugar |
3+ teaspoons cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 eggs, whisked |
2 1/3-3 cups ripe bananas (4-5 medium) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Get two separate mixing bowls, one small, one large.
3. In the small bowl, add: flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until thoroughly mixed together.
4. In the large bowl, add bananas and mash. Add oil/butter until thick paste-like consistency. Make sure there are still small chucks of banana throughout. Next, stir in honey and brown sugar. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and previously whisked eggs. Continually stir ingredients together until the batter looks even.
5. Next, take the ingredients of the small bowl and slowly stir them into the large bowl mix. Keep stirring until all dry ingredients are moist and all ingredients completely consistent.
6. Spray a baking pan with cooking spray (olive) oil. Pour the batter into the pan and place in stove. Allow to cook for 45 minutes - 1 hour. At around 40 minutes or so, put a knife through the middle of the bread to check. If it comes out clean, it's ready. If not, allow to cook further, checking every 7 minutes or so. (Note: banana bread seems to always have JUST A DAB of batter-like gooeyness on the knife. I think it's because of the banana. Check to your discretion but Don't allow the bread to overcook and burn!)
7. Eat up! And enjoy your house smelling Awesome! :o)
