BANANA/ORANGE BREAD

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Experiment as you wish with the ingredients. Some people like raisins or currant in their loaves (I do not, but that should not stop anyone). This recipe is a delicious, healthy version of an old standby, and one which the entire family can enjoy. The following recipe has batter sufficient for one loaf; I have doubled the ingredients to create two loaves and bake them at the same time. Eat one, and freeze the other. Enjoy. IMPORTANT: Please note nut ingredients. Omit nuts if there are allergy implications. This recipe was originally created by Tracy Holly, General Manager of the Cory Holly Institute. She writes for national magazines and is a lifestyle coach, lecturer and emcee. Tracy is a health and fitness activist and believes in natural medicine. Tracy is the author of "THE ATHLETE'S COOKBOOK", teaches Latin and ballroom dancing, and competes in Masters' Level Ms Fitness and natural body building. Tracy's recipe appears in the current issue of VISTA Magazine; a Canadian Health Publication.

This recipe is from 'Woman's Day' magazine, June 1977 issue. I've been making this for 39 years, and has truly become a family favourite. Today, as I share this from my handwritten copy, we will enjoy it as much as the first time I made this ...back in 1977 :) I hope y'all enjoy it as much as we do!

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 c white sugar
3/4 c melted margarine (or sub.butter)
3 large eggs
1 c banana mashed (about 3 lg)
1/3 c orange juice (fresh or carton)
21/2 c all purpose flour or whole wheat can be sub.or mix of 50/50
2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 c chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) roast nuts add more flavour
1/2 c quality seedless raisins
1 Tbsp grated orange zest

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees: Combine sugar and margarine (or butter). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • 2. Add mashed bananas and orange juice. Mix well. Add combined dry ingredients, mixing until just moistened. Stir in (roasted) chopped nuts and orange zest and raisins.
  • 3. Pour into a greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour and 15 min., or until a cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
  • 4. Cool in pan for 5-10 minutes then remove from pan. While loaf is still HOT, cover loaf with a few tablespoons of fresh honey or marmalade or both. Smear over top (it will melt and be easy to spread)
  • 5. A touch of fresh orange juice may be added to mix of honey and marmalade. Be sure to GLAZE HEAVY. Sprinkle with coarse white sugar.
  • 6. Finish cooling on rack for approx. 2-3 hrs. Cover loosely while cooling. When completely cool, wrap well in plastic wrap and foil. May be stored in freezer up to 2 months. Store in fridge for 1-2 wks. Store on shelf for approx.2-3 days. (you will want to eat before the time is up :)

Tips:

  • For a sweeter loaf, use very ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter the loaf will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough loaf.
  • Use a toothpick to check if the loaf is done. Insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the loaf is done.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the loaf from crumbling.

Conclusion:

This banana orange loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. The loaf is moist and flavorful, with a hint of citrus from the orange. It's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
