Banana Bread Makes 1 full-sized loaf or 2 small loaves of a 9x9" glass pan Preheat the oven to 350.degrees F In one bowl, combine: 1/2 stick (4-5 tablespoons) butter, softened 2 eggs 2 or 3 very ripe bananas Optional - 1 tbsp of PURE TRIM * 2/3 cup of brown sugar or sugar in the raw (or, 1/3 cup of brown sugar or sugar in the raw) and, 1/3 cup of unpasterized honey Use a potato masher, fork, or spoon to squish the banana and mix the ingredients together . It is alright for there to be small (1 centimeter) chunks of banana in the batter, but you want most of the banana to be reduced to mush. In another bowl, combine 1 1/3 cup all-purpose unbleached flour (or, any kind of flour-you like, like guten free) 3/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (without alum) 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (without alum) 1 teaspoon of real vanilla extract (liquid or powder) 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) approx. 1/2 of a cup of a combination of things like pecans, walnuts, dried cranberries; chocolate chips, fresh chocolate pieces, dried cherries, apricots, etc.,) - although, you can leave that out Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until the ingredients are blended together. Pour the dough into greased baking pans and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Small loaves take around 30 minutes, a normal-sized loaf takes around 50 minutes. Remove from the oven. This bread is great warm, but it is excellent cold too. After they have cooled for 5 or 10 minutes the loaves can be removed from the pan to cool. Once they are cool they can be individually wrapped and frozen.
