NEXT RECIPE: BANANA NUT BREAD


BANANA BREAD
2 1/2 cups white or white whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup vegetable shortening 2 cups sugar 2 cups over-ripe mashed bananas 4 eggs, beaten 1 cup chopped nuts 1 tablespoon banana liqueur or dark rum Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; stir to mix well. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together shortening, sugar, mashed bananas, and eggs. When well beaten, gradually add the flour mixture while mixture is at lowest speed. Mix only until combined. Stir in the banana liqueur or rum and the chopped walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts or macadamia nuts. Butter and flour a loaf pan. Bake for 65-70 minutes or until cake tests done (toothpick inserted in center comes out clean). Remove from oven and allow to sit for several minutes. Run a bread knife around edges of loaf pan to free it from sides and remove from pan. Rub the top of the still-warm loaf with a pat of butter to soften and glaze the top, if desired. Serve with whipped cream cheese spread on each slice. Submitted by: CM

Banana Bread

Nancy (New Mexico) says:

I made this yesterday & it was moist & flavorful. One substitution, though. No Rum in the house but used Evan Williams Kentucky Bourbon with very nice results! This recipe was easy & had the ingredients I usually have in the house. I also appreciate Liz (Virginia) suggestion of using a Bundt pan & 6 muffins... spot on!

Turned out great, used chocolate chips with the nuts and substituted 1 cup of splenda for 1 cup of sugar.

Michael (California) says:

Trying it for the first time, put chocolate chips in with the nuts and used 1 cup of Splenda in place of 1 of the cups of sugar. It is in the oven now, can't wait to try it after reading all the reviews.

Lisa (Oregon) says:

Love this recipe! This is the only banana bread recipe I have ever made and have made it 3 times. Comes out nice and moist every time and have received tons of compliments. I use Namaste gluten free flour with same measurements and it works wonderfully. I also add cinnamon per my husbands request and I have a loaf in right now with chopped up strawberries per my sons request. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

Delicious, even better with freshly macerated strawberries and homemade whipped cream. Or serve warm with Strawberry Philadelphia cream cheese spread. YUM!

Please watch cooking time I used two bread pans and they were done in 40 minutes. I also added 1 tablespoon of cinnamon I used butter instead of oil. Turned out very good.

Terri (Illinois) says:

Came home from work and my husband told me "You haven't eaten your bananas." So I decided to make a bread for the first time. I ran out of flour and only used two cups and substituted the liqueur for Rum extract. Rushing I only added a teaspoon of the extract so, I'll see how it goes. I love CM's recipes so I bet it will be fabulous. I too have a Bundt pan and not a loaf pan, so we will see.

Dawna (California) says:

Wonderfully delicious. I had some really ripe bananas and googled 'ripe banana recipes' and BINGO! I hit the JackPot with this recipe. Instead of shortening, I used 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. I also used light rum since I didn't have dark rum. I will definitely make this recipe again.

Tammy (New Hampshire) says:

This is the BEST banana bread I have ever made and the only bread I will ever make again.

Liz (Virginia) says:

I just made this and put it in the oven! IT came out to a Bundt cake, 6 muffins and mini loaf. All because we couldn't find the loaf pan! But I can't wait it smells absolutely delicious and I can't wait to slice into it. Fairly easy too! I added some chocolate to the mini loaf because I love banana chocolate chip bread, so hopefully that'll turn out well too. Thanks for sharing!

I have this recipe in the oven cooking. It is making the whole house smell amazing. I can't wait to eat it. I didn't have any banana liqueur, so I used Captain Morgan Spiced Rum instead. I can not wait to taste it.
