Description

A basic banana bread (or muffin) recipe that you can easily adapt to your tastes by adding in extras.

So far I have made a few variations:

Chocolate chip, peanut butter chip and walnuts
Pineapple and coconut
Strawberries and almonds
Peanut butter, chocolate chips and pecans

I will add more variations as I think of them.

Ingredients

  • 3 whole Bananas, Mashed
  • 2 Tablespoons Honey
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • ½ cups Butter (I Used Can't Believe It's Not Butter)
  • ½ cups Brown Sugar
  • ½ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ½ cups Wheat Flour
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Baking Soda

Preparation

In a bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients. Set aside.

Cream together the butter and sugars.

In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, honey, eggs and vanilla. Add this to the creamed butter mixture.

Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix well.

If you want to add any extras in—chocolate chips, nuts, etc.—do it now. I found that variations where I used fruit (pineapple or strawberries) made a much moister bread.

Separate the batter into two greased bread pans, and bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes. (Start checking at 45 minutes for doneness with a toothpick.)

Note: I have also made the batter in mini-muffin pans, and they only had to cook for about 10-12 minutes. In regular size muffin pans, it took closer to 20-25 minutes.
