Ah, back in the days when I was a new mother, I had to come up with creative ways to use all the extra baby food I had lying around that my young daughter refused to eat. After several attempts, I finally came up with this version.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup sweet unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 (6 ounce) jar banana baby food
3 over ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon banana extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Steps:

  • Mix together sugar and butter in a microwaveable dish and cook on HIGH heat just long enough for it to soften up- maybe 30 seconds, but not to melt it completely.
  • Remove and stir to combine.
  • Mix together baby food, over-ripe bananas, lime juice, eggs,vanilla,extract, and buttermilk.
  • Mix in the butter mixture gradually, so as not to cook the eggs.
  • It will look a little curdly from the lime juice- this is normal and will go away upon baking.
  • Combine all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then add the wet mixture and stir with a wooden spoon just enough to combine the ingredients and moisten them- pressing out any big lumps with your spoon (don't overmix).
  • Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan (9x5") and bake in a preheated oven at 350 F (180 C) for about an hour or until a toothpick tests clean.
  • Let cool completely before serving or it will fall apart.

  • Be sure to grease the loaf pan or muffin tins before baking. This will prevent the bread or muffins from sticking.

  • Let the bread or muffins cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
