Baby Food Banana Bread

BABY FOOD BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Mix together sugar and butter in a microwaveable dish and cook on HIGH heat just long enough for it to soften up- maybe 30 seconds, but not to melt it completely.
• Remove and stir to combine.
• Mix together baby food, over-ripe bananas, lime juice, eggs,vanilla,extract, and buttermilk.
• Mix in the butter mixture gradually, so as not to cook the eggs.
• It will look a little curdly from the lime juice- this is normal and will go away upon baking.
• Combine all dry ingredients together in a large bowl, then add the wet mixture and stir with a wooden spoon just enough to combine the ingredients and moisten them- pressing out any big lumps with your spoon (don't overmix).
• Pour into a greased and floured loaf pan (9x5") and bake in a preheated oven at 350 F (180 C) for about an hour or until a toothpick tests clean.
• Let cool completely before serving or it will fall apart.

HEALTHY BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Coat an 8x8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Grind the oats in a food processor for about 30 seconds, or until they resemble a coarse flour.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and process for about 1 minute, stopping to scrape down the sides of the processor as needed, until the batter is smooth.
• Pour into prepared pan, smoothing with a spatula. Bake for 25-28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan before slicing.
• Serve chilled, at room temperature, or slightly warm.

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan.
• Cream the sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• In a small bowl, mash the bananas with a fork. Mix in the milk and cinnamon. In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Add the banana mixture to the creamed mixture and stir until combined. Add dry ingredients, mixing just until flour disappears.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Set aside to cool on a rack for 15 minutes. Remove bread from pan, invert onto rack and cool completely before slicing.
• Spread slices with honey or serve with ice cream.

• Mix wet ingredients together in blender or food processor, adding oats gradually.
• Stir dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add wet ingredients & stir.
• Stir batter only enough to completely mix ingredients; don't over mix which will toughen the bread.
• Pour batter into greased pans (sprinkled with granulated sugar if you want a crunchy sweet crust) and bake at 350 for 45 minutes-1 hour-do the knife test to check doneness or until the middle of the loaf is set, being careful not to burn the top and bottom of the loaf.
• Bread will continue to cook in the middle after you take it out of the oven.
