Description

Having some frozen leftover bananas I wanted to use up and not actually being overly fond of the taste of bananas, I wanted a recipe that focused a little less on the bananas than traditional banana bread recipes do. So I decided to experiment. This banana bread is rather darker and more richly spiced than the usual. The taste of bananas is still there but it’s no longer the dominant note.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Cardomon
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Cloves
  • ¼ teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 Tablespoon Double-action Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅓ cups Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans
  • 4 whole Overripe Bananas
  • 2 whole Large Eggs
  • ¼ cups Honey
  • ¼ cups Molasses
  • ½ cups Sour Cream
  • ½ cups Melted Butter

Preparation

1. Sift together the flour, sugar, spices, baking powder, and salt, making sure to remove any lumps. Add the nuts, stirring lightly to distribute them.

2. Peel the bananas into a separate bowl. Mash them, then beat in the eggs.

3. Measure the honey, molasses, and sour cream into the mashed banana mixture, and stir together. It will be lumpy, but don’t worry, the lumps will disappear in the baking. Finally, add the melted butter while stirring quickly.

4. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix until only just blended.

5. Spoon the dough (it will be very thick and fluffy) into two well-greased loaf pans or one well-greased bundt or ring cake pan. Spread it out evenly.

6. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 1 hour.

7. Let cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then turn out.

Enjoy!
