When life hands you those 2 or 3 overripe bananas, either make a smoothie or banana bread.If you can't do this immediately, freeze the bananas, but harken to me:PEEL THEM FIRST.Trying to unpeel a thawed frozen banana is not fun and rarely successful.
This banana bread recipe comes from The Moosewood Cookbook.It's actually their carrot cake recipe but they are thoughtful enough to give the banana variation on the facing page.One quirky part of it is that you soak the 2 cups of pureed banana in 1 cup of strong coffee.And being that today was our annual Easter Egg Hunt, guess what we happened to have lying around but the quarter-full Box O' Joe.
So not only did I have the ripe bananas, I had a cup of coffee.I am so good. I rock.Mush up those bananas, pour the coffee over.Set the bowl aside and get busy measuring dry ingredients, humming happily to myself.I love it when these things just work out.I'm so smug.Coffee
Sourdough Banana Bread
No flour?Impossible.There's always flour.Flour is just one of those things that's always around, how could there be no flour?Commence the hilarious ballet of denial, looking in every conceivable and inconceivable cabinet in the kitchen, muttering to myself (in various four-letter words) that this is just impossible. After my triumph of glory of coffee and bananas, I'm going to blow it on
Thank God for my next-door neighbor who keeps me in eggs, and now keeps me in flour as well.The kids were up playing with hers, and she sent them home with 4 cups of flour in a ziplock, thus saving the bread.
This makes 2 loaf pans, or 1 9X13 baking dish, or some variation thereof if, like me, you think you have 2 loaf pans but you only have one (I'm an idiot).You could also cut the recipe in half.
Banana Nut Bread Recipe
With mixer on lowest setting, add half the dry ingredients.Then add banana-coffee mixture.Then add rest of dry ingredients and poppyseeds (if using).
Spread batter evenly in pans.Bake anywhere from 45 to 55 minutes (a cake pan will take less time, a loaf pan more).A tester inserted in the center should come out clean.
