Default Banana Bread

Hi All! I have some bananas on the counter that I need to do something with. I would like to make some banana bread. But I can't find a good one. Anybody have a good one? Thanks.

Thumbs up Low GI blueberry and banana bread

I got it by googling Low GI Banana Bread.
Low GI blueberry and banana bread

Teresa Cutter
Recipe: Low GI blueberry and banana bread
Broadcast date: January 31, 2006
Chef: Teresa Cutter
Recipe
Makes 1 loaf
Serves 16-20
Ingredients
2 large ripe bananas, peeled (460g)
4 egg whites or 2 whole organic eggs
½ cup (125ml) honey or pure maple syrup
125ml macadamia nut oil or grape seed oil
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup (50g) vanilla protein powder or skim milk powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
1½ cups buckwheat flour
300g blueberries
Method
Preheat your oven to 170C. Smash the banana in a large bowl, then mix in the eggs, honey, oil and cinnamon. Add the protein powder, baking powder and buckwheat flour.
Fold in the blueberries. Pour into a medium sized baking tin, and bake for 50 minutes, or until cooked through. Cover with foil half way through cooking if the bread starts to over brown.
Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to finish cooling. Serve plain or toasted with cottage cheese or ricotta and topped with fresh fruit like sliced banana, mango and passionfruit or peach and raspberry.
Store wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Note: you can also add ½ cup chopped dried pear, dates or apricot to the recipe.

The site I got it from is:
http://today.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=84298

I also found one at: http://bestlowcarbs.com/banana_bread.html
but it's very strange and the instructions are not right for the ingredients... If you are the type of cook that can adjust recipes this is possibly a good one?

Here's a great one I make all the time. It's from "The Penny Whistle Lunch Box Book" that I got when my son was little (copyright 1989!) He's now almost 21.

BANANA BREAD

The recipe has part white flour, but I always use ALL whole wheat flour and it's really, really good!

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup unbleached white flour (I use more whole wheat)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (sometimes I use more)
2 or 3 ripe bananas, mashed (good either way)
1/4 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt (I have used plain milk successfully)
1 cup chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds (it says "optional", but I always like nuts and raisins in my quick breads!)

Preheat oven 350 degrees. Butter a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter with the sugar until the mixture is fluffly. Beat in the egg.

In a separate bowl, combine flours, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.

In a small bowl, mash bananas with a fork and stir in milk or yogurt until well blended.

Alternately add the flour mixture and the banana mixture to the creamed butter, mixing thoroughly after each addition, and beating until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Fold in the walnuts by hand, spread into loaf pan and bake:

50 minutes to One Hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the bread stand in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes. Remove from pan and let sit at room temperature to cool. When firm, wrap in plastic wrap, or seal in plastic storage bag.

This is really good plain, or with butter, or cream cheese, or peanut butter on it!

Yay! I'm glad that you found something that works. You must be a good cook to be able to modify a recipe and have it work out good. I do this often and after more than 40 years of baking stuff, I daresay that I think that my "modifying instincts" are pretty good. Now I should modify my recipe so that it doesn't have a WHOLE STICK of butter in it...yikes! But, dang, it's so good!

I will be looking forward to seeing your recipe.

Kathryn

Here's my banana bread recipe. I took half the loaf to work and it was gone super fast. One of the guys in my office said that it was one of the best that he's ever had.

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup reduced-fat margarine, soft
3/4 cup egg substitute
3 smashed bananas
1 2/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat 8 or 9 inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Beat sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Add egg substitute, bananas, and 1/4 cup water. Beat until well blended. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and mix untill moistened. Pour and scrape into loaf pan.

Bake 8-inch loaf for 60 mins. The 9-inch loaf will bake for 45 to 50 mins. Or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 mins. Loosen sides from loaf pan. Remove from pan and cool completely on a rack before slicing. (I know that I couldn't wait and had to dig in. YUM)

Thank you for posting this recipe and with the fat reduced margarine in it, I had better give it a try! I'm not surprised that it went so fast. Yum!
