Organic Banana Bread Recipes

QUICK & EASY BANANA BREAD RECIPE (CLASSIC BANANA BREAD)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Mash bananas with a fork.
• Soften butter in a microwave.
• Stir eggs, bananas and butter together.
• Mix in remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is fully mixed.
• Optional - If you want to enhance this easy "basic" banana bread, you can stir in 1 cup of your family's favorite dessert ingredient (i.e. chocolate chips or chopped walnuts) after you have mixed the batter.
• Pour the finished batter into a nonstick bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
• Bake in the oven for 65-70 minutes or until golden brown.
• Take out of oven and let the banana bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the banana bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
• After 10 minutes, remove the banana bread from the bread pan. Place the banana bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the banana bread and the bread pan walls if the banana bread is stuck in the pan.

ORGANIC HERITAGE GRAIN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease one bread loaf pan .
• Note: If milling your own Red Fife flour, be sure to bolt, or sift out, some of the bran. One run through a 30 mesh sifter is sufficient to remove enough bran for a smooth, yet hearty texture.
• Combine the softened butter, vanilla, and eggs in a small bowl and beat lightly.
• Add the mashed bananas to this mixture and combine throughly.
• In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients (aside from the optional ingredients).
• Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and stir to fully incorporate.
• Mix in optional ingredients at this time, should you wish to do so.
• Using a rubber spatula , scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
• Place the pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. Loosely cover the top of the banana bread with a piece of aluminum foil and allow to bake another 10-15 minutes.
• The banana bread is fully baked when a wooden skewer or a knife comes out clean after having been inserted into the center of the loaf.
• Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then place on a cooling rack and allow to cool completely. Slice and enjoy.
