Banana Bread
January 10, 2010 – 12:30 amSo I realized that I’ve been going to the Pearl Brewery Farmers Market for the better part of 2009. I’ve seemed to amass a bounty of recipes from the cooking demos given on Saturday mornings.
That gave me the idea to post them here so I can get rid of all the pieces of paper that I’ve got laying around.
All that being said, this first one is _not_ of the recipes I picked up at the Farmers Market. It’s actually one that Starbucks gave out in one of their stores.
Banana Walnut Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 1 1/8 cup sugar
- 1/c vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 ripe medium-large bananas (mashed)
- Chopped walnuts
- Pre-heat the oven to 325°
- Grease a 9×5x3 loaf pan and dust with flour.
- Blend together the flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
- Mix together the egg, sugar, and vegetable oil until combined.
- Add the flour mixture, and when blended, add the buttermilk, vanilla and mashed bananas and mix until combined.
- Fold in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
- Top batter with remaining 1/3 cup chopped walnuts.
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes unilt a toothpick inserted in toe center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes on wire rack before removing from pan
Okay,so that was that recipe. I’ve got another one that I’ve been using so I’ll include it here as well. I’m not sure where I got it form, but I’m pretty sure it was one of the many internet recipe sites. I think it’s a bit simpler than the previous one.
