From a Dole pamphlet I've had sitting around since 1986! This is a nice twist on a standard banana bread or poppy seed bread. I love the light hint of lemon in the bread too with the lemon zest.

2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup poppy seed

Steps:

  • Mash bananas with a potato masher until all large pieces are broken down (or you can use a blender and puree the bananas) - you should receive about 1 cup of banana total. If not, then add enough banana to equal one cup.

  • Bake at 350* F for 50-60 minutes until pick inserted in center comes out clean. (The original recipe called for 60-70 minutes but mine is usually done before 60 minutes).
  • Cool in pan for 10-15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to completely cool.
