A good home for those over ripe bananas. Dried cranberries and walnuts top it off. Ingredients:
3 extra ripe bananas, mashed (the riper they are the better) |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup soft butter, 1 stick, 20 seconds in microwave. |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 cup dried cranberries (6oz pkg. craisins) you can experiment here, i like to use 1/2 cup original and 1/2 cup orange flavored craisins. |
2 cups flour, just plain unbleached flour. |
1 cup walnut halves, again i prefer to use big pieces of walnuts as opposed to walnut pieces. |
Directions:
1. Mix ingredients in order listed. I use a KitchenAid and I keep it running on slow speed as I add the ingredients. I add the ingredients one at a time, 1 egg then the next, 1 cup flour then the next, etc. After all ingredients are added, allow the mixer to run an additional minute. Pour into a buttered 9.25 x 5.25 loaf pan. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes at 325°F. Test for doneness, as it may need an additional 5 to 15 minutes baking time. You may want to bake smaller size loafs, for instance 3 X 5.75” mini loafs. In which case reduce the cooking time to about 40 minutes. You can test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or long wooden match into cake, if it comes out dry, cakes are done.
