Poppy Seed Walnut Banana Recipes

BANANA POPPY SEED QUICK BREAD

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.
• Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs and grated lemon peel until blended.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
• Beat the bananas into the wet ingredients alternately with the dry ingredients -- repeating twice ending with dry ingredients.
• Hand stir in the poppy seeds.
• Pour into a well-greased (or sprayed) 9x5 inch loaf pan.
• 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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans with the coconut oil.
• Beat applesauce, eggs, and butter together in a large bowl until smooth. Add white sugar, raw sugar, vanilla extract, and salt; mix well.
• Whisk bananas, sour cream, and baking soda together in a separate bowl until smooth; stir into the applesauce mixture until evenly combined.
• Gradually stir all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup at a time, into banana mixture until well mixed. Gradually stir whole wheat flour, 1/4 cup at a time, into banana-flour mixture until batter is well mixed. Fold almonds, teff, poppy seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds into the batter. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pans.
• Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool bread in the pans for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool, about 20 minutes.
