BANANA NUT RAISIN BREAD FOR ABM



Banana Nut Raisin Bread for Abm image

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and wanted to post it here for safe keeping. This is the best thing that has ever come out of my bread machine! A light fluffy tasty bread that my family gobbled up and asked for more! Remove your predetermined ideas of banana bread and try this yeast bread, the banana flavor is very subtle, but I think it adds to the nice texture. I am posting the recipe as I found it, but be warned I had to reduce the amount of yeast I used because when i used it with the full 2 1/2 teaspoons the dough spilled over the top of my ABM. I had better results with 2 tsp.

  • Select basic setting, press start. If your bread machine has a fruit/ nut setting add the raisins and nuts at the signal, or around 5 minutes before the kneading cycle has finished.
