With the overabundance of clementines that have been in our house lately, somehow a few bananas managed to get lost in the shuffle and got a bit overly ripe. So, that only means one thing - time to make banana bread! Yesterday was the first time in about three weeks that I had the kitchen all to myself during the day, so I was able to do some "experimenting" by using orange juice in this recipe. It adds just the right amount of sweetness to make this bread totally delicious!
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups white flour
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg
2/3 cup bananas, mashed
2/3 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 1 1/2 quart loaf pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, put all the ingredients in the order given except the walnuts and mix well with large spoon. When well combined, "fold" the walnuts gently into the batter. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and let pan cool about 15 minutes on a wire rack. Invert pan and remove loaf to wire rack to continue cooling.
