Worthy of a Special Occasion

Yield: 12 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  mashed ripe banana (about 2 medium)
  • 2/3  cup  sugar
  • 1/4  cup  vegetable oil
  • 1/4  cup  egg substitute or 1 large egg white
  • 1  large egg
  • 1 3/4  cups  all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4  teaspoons  cream of tartar
  • 3/4  teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, stirring with a whisk. Add the flour mixture to banana mixture, stirring just until moist. Spoon the batter into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray.

Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on rack.

Note: To freeze individual slices, place in heavy-duty zip-top plastic bags. Remove excess air from bags; seal and freeze for up to 1 month. To thaw, let stand at room temperature.

Pretty good recipe. I liked using canola oil in place of butter. I liked using one whole egg and one egg white. I did make one substitution and one addition. In place of the flour, I used Hodgson Mill's 50/50 flour blend of whole wheat and white. And I added 30grams of finely chopped walnuts. I liked the texture, it was much better today than it was right out of the oven. But it was a little too sweet for me. I will use this recipe again, but will make it my own with some tweaking.06/29/09

Thought this was just okay. It seemed to be missing something. There are so many great banana bread recipes out there...probably won't make again.06/24/09
