GT's Banana Bread


This recipe for banana bread came from a forumite on a running forum and it's going in my recipe spreadsheet.


While this recipe uses all whole wheat, the texture as dense as you'd expect.

I just deleted a sentence explaining the subtle nuances of the whole wheat coupled with a bit of nutmeg and how it compliments the banana flavor because it sounded strained, so just make the recipe because I said so and because you'll like it. :GT:





GT's Banana Bread

>Ingredients:
  • 3/4 c plus 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1.5 C whole wheat flour

  • 1 tsp. baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp. salt

  • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 3 smashed over-ripe Banana (me: mixed with 1 tsp lemon juice)

  • 1/4 C melted butter

  • Me: 2 tbsp. milk

  • Optional: chopped toasted walnuts, maybe like 1/2 cup

Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan and set aside. Whisk dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix wet ingredients in a separate bowl; add to dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Note from recipe concerning thickness of batter: It's thick but it's supposed to be; you won't complain.

  2. Spoon batter to loaf pan and bake for about an hour or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out cleanish. Cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing banana bread and letting cool on a wire rack.
