Send some my way

I just sent hubby out to the grocery store because we forgot the nuts! We'll have some banana bread here soon.




(Wish me luck - I've never baked banana bread before!)

Are you a sharing kind of person?

 

[eddad]

I'll be right over...MMMMMMmmmmm

 

[punkin]

I love to share, but you are all so far away. I'll eat an extra slice for all of you.

I used my mother's recipe, but this is only the second time I've baked it.

 

[diznygirl]

I'm using one from a book - I would have just left out the nuts, but I'm afraid if I don't follow it exactly I will mess up.

 

[punkin]

I would think that nuts are optional, but probably give it a richer, more complex taste. The secret ingredients in mine are fresh grated ginger and cardamom. Mmmm. Otherwise it's a standard recipe.

Nuts Ruin Banana Bread!!!!!!!

Don"t Do It.

Do they? Why?

 

[diznygirl]

Normally I don't like nuts in things. But a lady I once worked with mentioned how the oil from the nuts comes out during the cooking and helps with brownies..... I don't remember much more than that.... but since cooking is like a chemistry class, I didn't want to blow it with this first attempt at this recipe.

Oh, but I am adding chocolate chips! That should even out the nuts!

 

[nwdisgal]

Oh yum. I hope you are planning a nice frosty glass of chocolate milk to go with it when it comes out of the oven.

My favorite Banana Bread recipe is actually from Blue's Clues.

Could yOu guys share your recipes please!!

I was going to suggest this....I love chocolate chips in banana bread.

 

[OceanAnnie]

I add chocolate chips to mine too! I use a recipe for zucchini bread and just delete the zucchini and add the bananas. LOL. And I use Bisquick (if it's on hand) instead of all of the flour stuff. And add nuts and chocolate chips.

Hey, it's a good recipe for zucchini bread. It converts to a pretty good banana bread too.


ETA- The zucchini bread calls for cinnamon too. I keep that in the banana bread. Tastes really good!

 

[Southern4sure]

Oh...I use milk chocolate chips...not the semi-sweet kind...that will ruin the banana bread. I used the semi-sweet chips before and all I can say is UGH!

 

[diznygirl]

oooh - should have added cinnamon... my recipe didn't mention that. Gramps makes a zuchini bread that others rave about - just can't bring myself to eat it. I have that recipe somewhere. I'll check it out.

I used a recipe from Pillsbury - I would imagine you could find it on their web site -it called for sour cream. It's cooking now - we'll see what happens.
