ABC-1 2 3 (APPLE, BANANA, CARROT) LOAF



ABC-1 2 3 (Apple, Banana, Carrot) Loaf image

This is my go-to banana bread I make to use up those brown bananas. I also peel and freeze overripe bananas and keep them until I feel like baking. Easy to bake, moist muffins or mini-loaf cakes, made with variety of ingredients you probably have on hand. Original recipe. I have used fewer bananas, more carrot or apple, etc, always with good results. I have made with double the sugar, which is a little too sweet for me. If you like your muffins sweet, add more sugar to taste. These keep well, but I never had to store them more than 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your bread will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. A smaller pan will make the bread too thick and dense.

  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help prevent it from crumbling.
