While cleaning up the kitchen tonight, I noticed a bunch of bananas that seemed about on the brink of organizing a communist takeover of their area of the counter, so I thought I'd make some banana bread. Here's the recipe:
Dry Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp each of cloves, ginger, and nutmeg
Wet ingredients:
1 egg
3 to 4 bananas, thoroughly mashed
3/4 cup sugar
scant 1/4 cup of cooking oil. Less if you add an extra banana
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans, if desired
1/4 tsp bourbon, almond extract, or vanilla extract
Sift all of the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well
Mix all of the wet ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
Slowly add the dry ingredients and mix well. Scrape the side of the bowl as necessary. Once the mixture is even and lump free, pour into a greased loaf pan.
Bake in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow to cool for 15 minutes on a rack before removing from pan and finishing cooling.
Wonderful with butter.
