Banana Bread


This is an adjusted recipe from the recipe used for muffins, I've played with this bread recipe so that it has a little less liquid component, to help it not be soggy and cook well through, but it's still beautiful moist bread, and is almost cake like.

Depending on the size of the loaf you make (this is a big recipe!) and the oven you use, cooking times can vary greatly, err on the side of lower temp and longer bake time however, to get it evenly cooked.

Ingredients


DRY
3 cups wholemeal plain flour
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped walnuts or dates

WET
4 large very ripe bananas, mashed well (or freeze ripe bananas, then when they thaw they turn very runny, perfect!)
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 cup soy milk
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 170 C.
Spray baking tin/s with some canola oil spray or line with baking sheet.

In a large mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients.
Bananas should be pretty smooth but leave a couple of lumps.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine until dry ingredients are just moistened.
Pour in to large bread tin (or 2 small loaf tins) and bake for 90 minutes (bake time depends on oven so be sure to monitor)
Cool in tin for 10 minutes then on baking rack.

Super bananary banana muffins

Adapted from the Post Punk Kitchen Recipe


Ingredients

DRY
3 cups wholemeal plain flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

WET
5 small (or 4 large) very ripe bananas, mashed well (or freeze ripe bananas, then when they thaw they turn very runny, perfect!)
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
small container vanilla soy yogurt (180gms)
3/4 cup soy milk
2 teaspoons vanilla


Directions
Preheat oven to 180 C. Spray baking muffin tin with some canola oil spray.

In a large cooking bowl, sift together dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix together wet ingredients. Bananas should be pretty smooth but leave a couple of lumps. Pour wet ingredients into dry and combine until dry ingredients are just moistened. Pour in to muffin tray and bake for 20 minutes (I rotate tray in oven after 10 minutes). Cool on baking rack.

Additions can include chopped dates or walnut pieces, choc chips or coconut.

Can also make banana bread, but it can be difficult to get it to bake evenly through.
