Blender Banana Bread

Hey — look. There. Beside the microwave. Under the oranges. Isn’t that a bunch of mushy old bananas? Yes! It’s banana bread time.

1¼ cups (300 ml) all-purpose flour

1 cup (250 ml) granulated sugar

1 tsp. (5 ml) baking powder

½ tsp. (2 ml) baking soda

2 seriously ripe bananas, peeled

½ cup (125 ml) vegetable oil

2 eggs

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) loaf pan.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.

Put the bananas, oil and eggs into the container of a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the blended banana mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until thoroughly combined.

Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until a toothpick poked into the middle of the loaf comes out clean. Remove from the pan and place on a rack to cool.

Makes 1 simply superb loaf of banana bread.

Whole Wheat Positive

You can substitute whole wheat flour for all or part of the all-purpose flour in this recipe. Start with a small proportion, and if you like the result, you can use more whole wheat flour next time.
