Banana Bread (Deanna’s)
- Total Time: 45 Minutes
Description
This is a favorite (from Deanna) and a treat that all kids love. I always had trouble with getting it cooked enough on the top, without browning the edges too much, so one day I decided to try mini-loaves instead of 1 regular sized one. Turns out this recipe makes 3 (5 3/4 inches x 3 inches) mini-loaves, they freeze beautifully and are ideal for a quick snack. Also, it’s a super fast recipe because you do all of it in your food processor – just do everything in the order as written.
Ingredients
Banana Bread (in the food processor)
3/4 c. pecans – pulse in the food processor to chop and transfer to a bowl
3 medium bananas – pulse and then transfer to a bowl
1/2 c. hard butter, cut into chunks
1 c. sugar
Cream together butter and sugar in the food processor, it should be mealy in texture.
2 eggs – drop into the food processor with the butter and sugar, add the reserved banana and blend.
1 c. EACH flour AND whole wheat flour
1 t. EACH salt AND baking soda
Instructions
Add all to the food processor and pulse until all is well blended – you may have to scrape down the bowl. Add the reserved nuts and pulse a couple of times.
Pour evenly into 3 small, greased loaf pans. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes. When baking is finished, let them sit in their pans for about 10 minutes before removing. Cool and eat – or freeze (if freezing, wrap individually before placing in a freezer bag).
