I came up with this recipe to use up some extra bananas and yogurt, but since I live alone, eating a whole banana bread to myself is... well... pure gluttony. So, to my great pleasure, there is no willpower needed here! I am very proud of how it came out. It is very moist and the buckwheat gives it a nice flavour. If you are used to regular store-bought over-sweetened cakes, I recommend you increase the amount of sugar in the recipe or, you can use these tricks: use over-ripened bananas (they are sweeter), use sweetened applesauce and/or vanilla yogurt instead of plain. Ingredients:
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce |
1/4 cup margarine |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
2 bananas, mashed (i like to whip mine with a stick blender so they are nice and frothy, with no lumps) |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup buckwheat flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup plain yogurt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a bowl, cream the applesauce and the margarine with the sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing between each addition. Add bananas.***.
3. In another bowl, sift flours with baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add to previous preparation, alternating with the yogurt. Stir just to to mix.
5. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 cake pan and bake 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. ***If you have a stand mixer, set it on a high speed and let it run while you do the next step.
