This website is my new Covid obsession. Funny thing is, I think I did not measure the flour correctly; as my dough was not very thick. I contemplated adding in what I thought I did'nt; but ended up just rolling with it. Also my mashed banana was a little over 1 1/2 cups and did not add the walnuts. Coming out of the oven the loaf looks great! Anyway here goes it!
Ingredients:
- 8 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
- 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups mashed ripe banana (from about 1 1/2 pounds unpeeled bananas)
- 3 tablespoon orange marmalade (optional but tasty)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325-degrees. Lightly grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Mine was 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 and was glass.
In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt, beating until smooth.
Add the mashed bananas, jam, honey and eggs, again beating until smooth.
Add the flour, then walnuts, stirring until just smooth.
Add batter to the prepared pan; smoothing the top. Let rest a room temperature for 10 minutes.
Bake the bread for 45 minutes, then gently lay a piece of aluminum foil across the top, to prevent browning.
Bake for an additional 25 minutes. (I removed at 20, due to the glass loaf pan). Or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Remove from the pan and cool completely a rack.
You can reduce the sugar by cutting the brown sugar to 1/3 cup.
