Kathy’s Favorite Banana Bread/Muffins

This bread smells great and is a yummy treat!  It’s the best Banana Bread recipe I’ve come across.  It also makes good use of our regular supply of delicious bananas through the Co-op.

 

Ingredients:

2 eggs, beaten                                           1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1/3 cup buttermilk                                       1 teaspoon baking soda

½ cup vegetable oil                                    ½ teaspoon salt

3 mashed ripe bananas                             ½ cup chopped pecans (more if desired)

1 ½ cups white sugar

 

Directions:

1.      Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Spray one 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with
        
non-stick spray coating or prepare muffin pans using foil baking
         cups (foil cups work best).

2.      Blend together the eggs, buttermilk, oil and bananas.

3.      Sift together the sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt.  Add to banana
        
mixture and stir in pecans.  Mix well.

4.      Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake 1 hour and 20 minutes or
         until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.  Muffins will
         take considerably less time, approximately 20 – 30 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Favorite Pancakes

1 egg

1 ¼ cup milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted shortening

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

 

Blend egg, milk and oil.  Blend dry ingredients together.  Add to liquids.  Mix until flour is moistened; do not over mix.  Set aside while you heat griddle or frying pan, lightly oil if necessary.  Ladle batter onto hot surface.  Turn pancakes as soon as they are puffed and full of bubbles, before bubbles break.  Brown on other side.  Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
