That moment when you took too long to eat those bananas, your grocery budget is just too tight, and you feel compelled to make something of those over-ripe browning bananas in your fruit bowl. Enter banana bread! How does one make banana bread without butter? Well, I found out. It came out deliciously moist, not too sweet, and a perfectly crusty crust.
Here is my recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup oil (I used canola)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg (lets be honest, I prefer local farm eggs!)
- 1 and 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 mashed bananas
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325.
- In mixer, add oils, sugar, and egg. Blend until mixed.
- Meanwhile, mix dry ingredients in small bowl and mash bananas.
- Add dry ingredients to mixer bowl and blend until mixed.
- Add bananas, blend until mixed.
- Pour in greased* baking loaf and bake for 1hr 10 min or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Enjoy warm!
*I found a dairy/soy free cooking spray at Whole Foods that I now use to grease my cooking pans: Spectrum brand "Butter It Up!" Natural flavor spray oil. Ingredients: canola oil, sunflower oil, natural non-dairy flavor, annatto extract for color.
