Correction on Banana Bread Recipe
Banana Bread Recipe
* 3 or 4 ripe bananas, smashed
* 1/3 cup melted butter
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 2 TBSP Molasses
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* Pinch of salt
* 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
No need for a mixer for this recipe. Banana Bread does not like beating. Once you begin to add the dry ingredients, STIR, do not beat. Stir only enough to blend. The texture will reward you. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). With a wooden spoon, mix butter into the mashed bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the sugar, egg, and molasses. Sprinkle the baking soda and salt over the mixture and mix in. Add the flour last, mix. Pour mixture into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour. Cool on a rack. Remove from pan and slice to serve. If you use 3 bananas, make sure they are larger. I have quadrupled this recipe and it worked just fine. I have also substituted honey for sugar, you use just a hair less if you use honey.
