This recipe was found in Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book. I've used it for years, adjusting it to my specific tastes. I use either dried blueberries, or cranberries. I have only once used dried apricots, diced. It's fabulous either way, any way. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
2 large eggs |
5 medium bananas, mashed |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup butter, melted |
1/2 cup walnuts or 1/2 cup pecans, chopped |
1/2 cup dried blueberries, dreid cranberries or 1/2 cup dried apricot, cut into fours |
Directions:
1. preheat oven to 350degrees.
2. grease bottom and 1in up the sides of TWO bread 7 1/2x3 1/2x2in bread pans; set aside.
3. combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
4. in a medium mixing bowl, or food processor, combine eggs, bananas, sugar and butter. (I use I Can't Beleive It's Not Butter). Mix for 30 seconds.
5. fold in nuts of your choice.
6. spoon batter into prepared pans.
7. bake at 350 for 40-45minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of bread comes clean.
