Upon a friend's request: How you make yourself a yummy yummy banana bread

Für alle Schlemmermäuler und Schleckerkatzen kommt hier das Bananenbrotrezept. Besser noch als selbst zu backen - kommt vorbei! Ich mach euch eins.



You first mix the butter mixture:

1 1/2 cups melted butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar OR 1 1/2 cups honey
4 eggs (room temperature)
2 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
the grated rind of 1 orange

Beat the sugar and butter in a large bowl, add one egg at a time plus the remaining ingredients.


Then make a flour mixture out of

2 cups whole wheat flour
2 cups white flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp ground cinnamon

Sift all of this together twice.


Also mix 2 cups well-mashed ripe banana soaked in 1 cup strong black coffee.


Now add flour mixture and banana alternatedly to the butter mixture in the following order: flour - banana - flour - banana - flour. Do not beat the whole thing or overmix it, this would dry out the bread. If you want to you can still add 3/4 cups of nuts at last.

Now generously butter two loaf pans and optionally sprinkle them with sesame seeds. Put the two loaf pans in the 350° F pre-heated oven (220°C) for 40-50 min. Let cool for 10 min in pan, then remove.

And now, enjoy in joy! Mmmmmhh..


[So, Matthias, bitte schön. :) ]
