½ cup (1 stick or 4 ounces) unsalted butter
½ cup (3 ¾ ounces) packed light or dark brown sugar
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups (~ 12 ounces) mashed ripe banana (3-4 medium to large bananas)
¼ cup (3 ounces) honey (I used sugar - works fine)
2 large eggs
2 cups (8 ounces) whole wheat flour, traditional or white whole wheat (I found that 2 cups was closer to 10 ounces - guess my whole wheat is heavy)
½ cups (2 ounces) chopped walnuts

Add the flour and nuts, stirring until smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and let it rest at room temperature, uncovered for 10 minutes.

Banana Nut Bread and Apple Muffins from

Homemade muffins are my favorite breakfast. What I discovered is there are great recipes on the box of A.J. Pancake Mix, the Whole Wheat mix! Of course I added fresh eggs, milk, vegetable oil, baking powder, a little sugar,cinnamon, fruit and nuts. The "whole wheat" pancake mix actually was picked up by mistake, thinking I was...

Provided by Beth M.

Categories     Pancakes

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 c whole wheat pancake mix
1 c all purpose flour
NOTE: FOR MUFFINS WITH RAISIN BRAN CEREAL, USE 1 & 1/2 CUPS ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR ONLY.
1 Tbsp oil for muffins; 1/3 cup for bread recipe
1 small container applesauce for muffins.
1 egg for muffins; 2 eggs for bread.
1 c fat free milk for muffins; 1/4 cup milk for bread.
1 Tbsp baking powder for muffins; only 1 & 1/2 tsp. for bread.
1/3 c light brown sugar for muffins; 1/2 cup gran.sugar for bread.
1 tsp cinnamon for either recipe.
1 c chopped granny smith apple
1 c coarsely chopped walnuts
or two mashed ripe bananas, and optional 1/2 cup chopped walnuts for bread.
quick bread also includes baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Full directions are on the box of whole wheat pancake mix, by A.J. THESE ARE WONDERFUL RECIPES, WHICH I WILL USE MANY TIMES. THEY ARE QUICK, EASY AND PERFECT.
  • 2. The Apple-Walnut Muffins are made in several steps: First you measure the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and set aside.
  • 3. In a medium sized bowl, mix one egg, one cup milk, one tablespoon oil, one small or individual-size serving of "Natural" apple sauce (unsweetened); and blend together.
  • 4. Measure out one and one/half cups of POST Raisin Bran Cereal, and stir into the liquid ingredients.
  • 5. The Granny Smith apple needs to be cored, peeled and shredded. I prefer to use one large G.S. Apple. I also use 1 cup of chopped walnuts, coarsely chopped.
  • 6. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients in the large bowl and stir in the apple and walnuts.
  • 7. Have a twelve-cup Medium-size muffin pan sprayed with oil, and an ice-cream scoop also sprayed with oil ready. The oven should be preheated to 425 degrees.
  • 8. Scoop the batter into the muffin tin and bake for at least 25 minutes. Remove tin and let rest on the counter on a cake rack for a few minutes, then loosen muffins. Enjoy one (or two) while warm with a nice hot cup of coffee for breakfast each morning! We do!

WHOLE WHEAT OAT BANANA BREAD



Whole Wheat Oat Banana Bread image

Very gooey and yummy, this is my favorite Banana bread recipe. TIPS: Buy whole wheat flour that has NOT been bleached. Use only PURE honey. Use Almond, Rice or Soy milk (try not to use cow milk). Extra virgin cold pressed olive oil has the best taste and has no extra junk in it. Use real vanilla extract, imitation has too many chemicals and not as good a flavor. Has plenty of fiber to help cleanse the colon which is always the best place to start cleaning for a successful diet and a healthy lifestyle.

BANANA WHEAT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)



Banana Wheat Bread (Bread Machine) image

I have a habit of jotting down promising recipes whenever I'm perusing magazines in a waiting room. This one is on an envelope postmarked 1996. The whole wheat flour and banana flavors in this yeast bread really complement one another. I like to make cheese sandwiches with this, or eat with butter and jam. Try french toast with it, too. It's much lower in fat than the typical quick bread banana bread. Prep time is approximate, depending on which alternative you choose.

½ (3 ounce) package strawberry-flavored gelatin (such as Jell-O®)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray; dust with flour.
  • Mash bananas in a large bowl with a fork. Add sugar and mix until smooth. Add eggs, milk, and strawberry gelatin; mix well.

Tips:

  • Be sure to use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana bread will be.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the bread dry.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Banana bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and nutty aroma, banana bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you have some ripe bananas on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
