Ah, back in the days when I was a new mother, I had to come up with creative ways to use all the extra baby food I had lying around that my young daughter refused to eat. After several attempts, I finally came up with this version. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 (6 ounce) jar banana baby food |
3 over ripe bananas, mashed |
1/2 teaspoon lime juice |
2 large eggs |
2 tablespoons buttermilk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon banana extract |
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
Directions:
1. Mix together sugar and butter in a microwaveable dish and cook on HIGH heat just long enough for it to soften up- maybe 30 seconds, but not to melt it completely.
2. Remove and stir to combine.
3. Mix together baby food, over-ripe bananas, lime juice, eggs,vanilla,extract, and buttermilk.
4. Mix in the butter mixture gradually, so as not to cook the eggs.
5. It will look a little curdly from the lime juice- this is normal and will go away upon baking.
6. Combine all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then add the wet mixture and stir with a wooden spoon just enough to combine the ingredients and moisten them- pressing out any big lumps with your spoon (don't overmix).
7. Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan (9x5 ) and bake in a preheated oven at 350 F (180 C) for about an hour or until a toothpick tests clean.
8. Let cool completely before serving or it will fall apart.
